I use MS Window XP Pro -

In internet explorer, I open or download excel files from links, however whenever the excel spreadsheet opens, it opens from internet explorer mode. I need it to open directly to MS excel mode.

How do i do this in XP Pro / Internet Explorer mode???

If you could give step by step instructions, it would be MOST appreciated.

I remember someone told me to go to internet options but I could not solve it.

Please help
