Internet Files.....
red x "This file does not have a program associated with it for
performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options
Control Panel"
How do i do that?

The clue is in the file extension. It is .XLSX, which is the new
Microsoft Office 2007 format, which OpenOffice cannot yet open. You'll
have to arrange to have that file saved in the older .XLS format.
Alteratively, if you only want to read that file, you could install the
free Microsoft Excel Viewer & Compatibility, available from here:
