It sounds like you have a file association problem. Uninstalling OO may not help. And maybe you are using some kind of windows? A little more info would help the nice folks who help users on this forum help you.
Removing OO from your task bar doesn't do anything but remove it from your task bar. It doesn't change the computer's automatic recognition of file type and program association. To change this (on almost all versions of Windows), find a file with the type that opens with OO instead of moodle (My Computer or explorer), "shift-control right click" the file, which should bring up an action box with open-with as a choice, and follow through changing the file association to moodle If you still want to uninstall openoffice and the control panel's add/remove dialog doesn't work for you, download and try the program at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/en On 9/2/05, Jamie Billingham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have been searching the Oo forums for some help with uninstalling Oo.
