1. Forget them. We can only help the others. :-)
2. The default is to leave the file associations alone. Forget them, too.
But...
Here you are taking issue with whatever the instruction reads and you
couldn't be bothered to capture it verbatim. I am not trying to pick
on you personally but rather as representative of a mindset that makes
it OK to complain about nearly anything as long as facts aren't
allowed to get in the way of the rant, because, after all, it is a lot
of work to substantiate an argument.
Such b******t! I had the gist of the screen in my email. I.e., the facts
-- although not stated verbatim -- were in evidence. I'm sure the
developers know exactly where the code for that is. :-)
p.s., "OpenOffice.org 2.0 will automatically open the following file
types."
Where does it say that??? Are you in group 1, perchance? ;-)
I have no idea what "group 1." is, but if it's a good thing to be there,
then I must be. Otherwise, I'm sure I'm not.
As attachments won't make it to the list, you'll either have to modify
your installation so that you can get to the relevant screen or install
2.0rc on another computer. Or, you can just take my word for it 'cause
I looked at it in the installation in progress on my notebook at the time.
