Re: 2) OOo 1.0 and 1.1.0 were really slow to open. Since then it keeps getting faster with new releases as almost everyone is concerned about that. There are quick start options available at least for Windows and Linux that preload some of the files to make startup faster. (I think the Windows version gets turned on as part of the OOo installation process if you select that option. For Linux, I use OOoqs.
3) I don't believe OOo handles MS password protected files because MS won't tell anyone how their proprietary encryption works.
4) I don't have Windows booted up at the moment to get this exactly right, but if you use "My Computer" to display the directory the file lives in and right click on the file, there should be an option something like Edit File Type. When you select that, it lets you specify what program to use to open the file and there's a check box that says something like always use this program to open files of this type. If you check that box, it should fix your problem. I use Windows 98, so some of the wording may have changed with XP.
Hope this helps.

Dear Open Office Support Team,
I must appreciate for developing such a good software for making text & spreadsheet files.
I have been using for a quite while. I few queries regarding Openoffice :
1. I get many zip attachments in my mail. These attachments have text / spreadsheets. If I open them directly from Winzip I get the error screen as shown in the attached word file. 2. Also many users have a complain that openoffice files take a long time to open. 3. Openoffice gives error message if we open a read-only / password protected spreadsheet file. 4. Also there a file which does not automatically open in openoffice. If I right click it and choose open with in the next window which option c:\program files\openofice...\ I select for Openoffice text & spreadsheet file.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
