Parallels keeps opening my Excel files with Windows, even though I have Office 2004 for Mac. Ive changed the file assocation by right-clicking the file and choosing File Info, Open with, Change All. Ive done this a number of times, and Parallels keeps changing it.

Any ideas how I can stop this?
 
Did you ever get this question answered or do you know how to fix this problem. Its driving me nuts!

Much thanks.
 
There is an obscure setting in Parallels to turn off this "feature", I'm sorry I don't recall it and I've removed the software. This was one of a few Parallels "features" that drove me to VMWare Fusion.

But you should be able to find it if you check all Parallels preferences.
