It looks as if you have a strange mix of access rights and registry
settings that completely screwed up the associations.
Hi Mathias,
Yes, I had actually realized this after posting, and intended to correct
myself once I had managed to fix it - but I still haven't.
I did in fact try with a new user before posting, but it still didn't work.
Anyway, it appears you are correct, it is the registry settings that are
broken, most likely a perms issue. I ran CCleaner, and it shows some OOo
related registry settings as broken, but when I try to fix them, while
it says that they were fixed, re-running CCleaner shows they are still
screwed up.
I didn't have time to pursue it further, but my next step is to check
and see if I can manually fix the permissions. If I can fix them and it
fixes the problem, then the OOo File Associations Manager would be able
to check for and fix them too, as long as the user is running it with
Admin rights - and it could always check and see if it was as the first
step.
