html_code_clinic thread: Is this Normal?

I have a hyperlink in a document pointing to excel and word files.  I just 
noticed the Word documents are opening Read Only files in Word.  However, 
the Excel documents are opening in their own separate IE 5.0 screen.  My 
HTML code looks like this:

<a href="imp business processes\examples\Example TLS Cost Tracking.xls" 
target="_blank">TLS Cost Tracking</a>

Is it normal for excel files to open into IE rather than Excel?  I think I 
would prefer to have Excel launched.  Is there a way to force Excel to 
launch when the link is chosen?  Am I losing my mind?

Thanks,
KMW
