Try right clicking a Open Office / MS Word file and go to Open With , then click Open With... then you get a list of programs , select MS Word there , and check "allways open with this program". Then click OK. It should now allways open .doc files with MS Word. (Please excuse any spelling mistakes , I am an a Dutch version of Windows).

I am lost! I am also a computer Neanderthal and Don't know where or how to look at what's in the sys tray. Here are more details of the situation. I deleted all OO files and anything to do with it from my registry. But it still opens downloads from the Web. this freezes them up as I get OO error message. I then can not have access to the download. it doesn't allow me a way to open the download with another program(ms word) So how to I get rid of this OO "take over"?

Hi  Bob,
Open the OOo program directory and run 'setup.exe'. Choose 'remove'. Make sure that the quickstarter is NOT running. You'll see the OOo icon in the system tray if it is. If so, right-click and select 'Exit Quickstarter'.
