Because after looking into this problem, i had the same problem on my Windows7 computer, thought well it should be easy to solve by uninstalling/installing LO.... But that did not work
So i dived into REGEDIT ..... (of course obeying the rules Microsoft has for this) After a lot of .....time i did find a key which is the cause of this problem. It can be show on the commandline when doing: REG EXPORT HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.ott\UserChoice ott.reg When you get an error like this: "ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value." you should not have this problem The file "ott.reg" is a backup of the piece we are going to delete: Easiest way to delete this key was via REGEDIT (other option gave "ERROR: Error accessing the registry." Start REGEDIT Find the key where HKCU is HKEY_CURRENT_USER Whith "UserChoice" selected, press the Delete button, and confirm deletion. Close REGEDIT double-clicking on an .ott-file should now open a new document based on that template. ----- Windows7 / LibreOffice 3.3 330m19(Build:6) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Windows-bug-Opening-OTT-does-not-create-new-document-tp2396899p2406508.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
