Setting default program for file types

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hopefully this is a no brainer for someone out there but I have not been able to get this to work right. I have Office 2003 installed on base and I have created a layer for a standalone version of Excel 2007. I want Excel 2003 to be the default Excel when opening xls files. After importing the 2007 layer Excel 2007 is the default program. I have tried playing around with layer prioritization setting the Normal priority and HKCR priority both really high and really low for the layer but Excel 2007 still wins. If I repair Office 2003 Excel 2003 will become the default until I launch the Excel 2007 layer again than it wins. Any help anyone can offer would be appreciated.

Figured it out
SVSCMD.EXE "Office Excel 2007 SP1" PRIORITY -T HKCR -L 85 and reboot. Now Excel 2003 take priority over 2007 layer when opening xls.
