When trying to open any Word or Excel file, the program starts configuring
Front Page Express. Since I do not have it installed, it results in an error
and therefore opens Word/Excel in a blank page.

Because of this, I have to always use File -> Open to open anything.

Any clues as to why this is the case?

I know this is very basic but do you have your associations set for .doc ,
..xls set for word and excel or are they set to front page?
