I believe there may be some slight issues due to the fact that both LibO and OOo have the same process name (soffice.exe). I vaguely remember hearing/reading that Windows gets slightly confused in the "Open with..." dialogue, in that it doesn't "remember" the default correctly when you try to change it. But like I said, I don't remember the details very well. You could download LibreOfficePortable (portableapps.com/libreofficeportable). It doesn't involve any registry entries as it is made to run from a flash-disk (all the "settings" are contained in sub folders rather than the registry). Version 3.3.2 is available.
