Excel (desktop)

$

I seem to have two different versions of Excel on my PC.  The problems started when I upgraded from windows 8 to windows 8.1

If I am in windows explorer and I right click on an excel file and choose 'Open with' I am given three choices:

Excel (desktop)

Excel

Chose default program

I thought I only had one version of Excel on my machine, part of Office 2013 64 bit addition, not Office 365 online.

Also in windows explorer excel files types without macros are listed two different ways:

XLS file

Microsoft Excel Worksheet (I thought all excel files are workbook files)

All of this is causing excel to do odd things.  Sometimes I am unable to exit Excel (have to use the task manager to close it)

I get the error message "There is a problem sending the command to the program" when I try to open an excel file from windows explorer.

Can anyone explain what all this means and how do I get back to one version of Excel?
