Thanks David
you pointed me to where I had prviously seen the "Change Icon" button and I
am grateful for that.
One little bit of information that may or may not be useful to other users
some time in the future: There are no M$ Word icons on a comptuer which
does not have Word (Office) installed, and finding them on another computer
is not easy - the icon is not in a *.ico file
On another Windows XP comptuer which does have M$ Office installed, seach
for the file: Wordicon.exe
Copy it to a floppy disk
On the computer which does not have M$ Office installed, when you are
changing the icon for *.doc files, in "Browse" point to the floppy and
Wordicon.exe, and you will be shown a dozen or more Word icons to choose
from.
Once again, many thanks, James

This should work:
Open My Computer
choose Tools / Folder Options
Wait. . . .
Scroll down the list of 'registered file types'. to Extension: DOC
select that extension
click button [Restore]
Yes I know this puts thing back in M$ Office hands,
but it also gives you the [Advanced] button
under which you CAN reassign it to OOo.
and change the Icon!!

I install OOo on all the computers I sell and instruct the new users to:
1. save in OOo format for internal use
2. save in PDF to send non-editable documents to other people
3. save in M$ Word format to send editable docs to Word users
All of these customers have Windows XP as their OS
The customers therefore end up with a mixture of .sxw, .doc, and .pdf
files in their "My Documents" folder.
The PDF docs have the default Adobe Acrobat Reader icon
The OOo docs have the default OOo icon
The Word docs also have the OOo icon
I followed the M$ WinXP Help instructions to change the workd docs icon,
but the property these instructions referred to was not present in the
dialog box. I owuld like *.doc documents to be ditinguished from true
OOo *.sxw documents by having a different icon.
Does anyone know how to change an OOo icon under Windows XP?
Many thanks, James Elliott
