When I goto Associate a file type for a specific extension, it has it
associated to Wordpad when it should be Excel. However, I am not able to
change it as the "Always Use the selected program to open" is grayed out and
I can't get it be selectable. How do I do it so I can associate the file type
to always for Excel.

Please advise.

I wouldn't work with the associations to start.

Instead, I'd let excel try to do it for me.

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets some of the windows registry to
excel's factory defaults.

Maybe it'll work ok for you.
