Help!!! I installed Openoffice - now it has taken over my computer.
Every
program now has extension of .LNK. Every ICON is Openoffice Icon.
HELP!!
What happens when you click one of those lnk files? Does the program open?
If you right click it, can you click "Properties" and then verify that
this is a link and maybe even see where it goes? Are you really SURE that
every program now has the extension of .lnk? What program are you using to
write this email? Is it a web browser or an email program? In either case
at least THAT program seems to work... or maybe you were writing it on
another computer, of course.
Is really EVERY icon now an OpenOffice icon? Even those program links, all
your video and music files or only your Office files?
When you installed OpenOffice, did you check some boxes (or maybe they
were checked and you didn't uncheck them) saying something about that they
should be checked if you want your office files to be opened with Open
Office? And in that case, why did you theck them (or why didn't you
uncheck them) if you didn't want Open Office to open them?
Well, don't worry about it. Open Office has probably not taken over
anything. Even if there is an Open Office icon, you can still open your
Word document with Word if you like. The Open Office installation program
has only been assigned to those files as their default program. You can
assign them back to whatever you like, if you want to. This question comes
up all the time and someone usually replies with a link, telling you what
do to. I don't have a clue where to find such a link, but I will search
for one right now. Please wait...
Ok, I found at least one link. Took me a few seconds with google, I
searched for faq openoffice "taken over". Here it is:
http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/ar01s04.html#id2811427
However, that lnk thing sounds very strange. Are you really sure about
this?
