Windows 8.1 Can't see excel.exe in Office folder using Explorer but I can see it when I do a search.

I am trying to associate Excel.exe with a spreadsheet file used by the State of Wyoming *.wog.  When I used the "Open with" command it doesn't show Excel in the Office14 folder even though a "Search" of the C: Drive shows that is
exactly its location. When I right click the Excel.exe file that was found from the search I have the option to open the folder.  Doing so shows me all the files in the Office14 folder instead of only the fraction that shows
up in Explorer.
I have  administrator rights and have checked the boxes under "view" to show all folders and files including system folders.
Why are all the *.exe files in Office14 impossible to access using Explorer or the "Open With" Command?

Hi,
If your Win8.1 was 64bit version and Office 2010 32bit version, when you used "open with" to find Office programs the default path was C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14. It was a 64bit version path.
Thus, we need to choose the 32bit path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14. Please try it.
