Office Pro 2013

I'm running Windows 7 and use Office Professional 2013. With the most recent auto update, now when I attempt to double click a Word or Excel file to open it, Office Small Business 2007 attempts to open and configure. Although I had Office SB 2007 on a previous laptop, I don't believe it was ever on this laptop.  If so, it was before I was provided this as a replacement by Dell for the previous laptop.

If I first open Word or Excel with a blank document or recent file, it opens fine.  Then if I double click a Word or Excel file from Windows Explorer while Word/Excel 2013 is still open, the document opens without a problem.

How do I go about correcting the default settings so that when I double click a Word or Excel document it uses my Office Pro 2013 applications to open the file?  Thanks for your help!
