Hi Greg,
if you look for "file associations" in the OOo Writer Help you find the
instructions.

I didn't get OO 2.0rc on CD. I downloaded it. I just looked at tthe
SETUP_GUIDE_draft.pdf for OO 2.0 online and page 27 does not say
anything about file associations. Page 27 states, "Run OpenOffice.org
to insure that the installation was successful."
Would I be better off to uninstall it then reinstall it?

When I installed previous versions of OpenOffice, i.e.
1.9.125 and before that, every Microsoft Office type
file displayed in Windows Explorer, i.e. .doc, .xls,
.ppt would have a corresponding OpenOffice icon
displayed to the left of the file, much like my Word
Perfect documents (.wpd) display a Word Perfect icon
to the left of the file, or any .mp3, .wav file
displays a Windows Media player icon to the left of
the file. When I'd click on that file, the
corresponding application would open it.
Since I installed OpenOffice 2.0rc, the Microsoft
Office files no longer display the Corresponding icon.
When I click the file, I am asked which application I
want to open it.
How do I get that Microsoft default back?

It is all about file associations. Follow the directions on page
27 in the setup guide that came with OOo. (setup_guide.pdf)
