winedefault.reg disappeared from Wine back in February. It appears that 
info now exists in tools/wine.inf in the Wine source tree, but it is no 
longer installed with regedit. It should be installed automatically, I 
think, but there appears to also be instructions at the top of the file.

For example, you can go into ~/.wine, and delete (or move) the *.reg 
files. Then run any Wine program ("wine notepad"), and the files will be 
recreated.

But I think rather than that, you need to first find out if you are 
still having problems running the application you were interested in, 
and what problems they are. Maybe now that your Wine appears to be 
installed better, try reinstalling Excel. Also mention whether you are 
using a "fake" Windows installation; you probably should be.
