double click excel file content doesn't display properly

Hi:

I purchased Office Home and Student 2007 on line last year and installed it on my Windows 7 Home Premium computer. There's an issue with Excel keeps bugging me. If I open an excel file by bringing up an Excel program first it'd work properly. But if I simply double click the file, the content looks like binary code which is un-readable. How should I fix this? I tried right click -> open with, but excel is not on the list of programs to be picked.

I can't locate .exe files for excel/words any where in my file system. Only found excel 2007.lnk and word 2007.lnk under the following two places:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office>
C:\Users\Shujen\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\StartMenu

Please help. Thanks.
