If this clicking is happening in a Windows Explorer window, then there is an association in the Registry. You can right click the file and select "open with" to change it to Excel by making sure the "always open with this" is checked. You may have to Browse to find Excel.

Thanks for reply @dschenken

File is at desktop. I tried opening it by selecting excel from 'Open with' option. still it opens in creo.

I kept excel application open but no change.

There's a "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file " button. Was that checked?

Next up, do you have the actual file extensions displayed? Under Folder Options, turn off "Hide Known File Types."

 

There's a good chance the file is "filename.xls.3" but if the File Types are turned off it displays as "filename.xls" because Creo forces .1 to .999 to be associated with Creo.
