When you installed OOo (OpenOffice.org) you ticked the options telling the OOo installer to do this. > I have tried to delete open office files and have only been partially > successful. It was not necessary to remove OOo, because MS Office and OOo will happily co-exist on the same computer. Increasingly, you will find more students wanting to submit files in OOo's ISO standards approved format, so it will be useful to have OOo available. Deleting files is the wrong way to uninstall any Windows software. I suggest you reinstall OOo and then if you still wish to remove it, use the "Add and Remove Programs" option fro the Windows Control Panel. > Please advice me how I can return my files to their original microsoft > icons, uninstall open office, and return to my happy windows self. Even if you decide to keep OOo on this computer you will still need to change the Windows "File Associations" to get your MS icons back. Instructions on how to do this are given here: http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/ar01s04.html#FILE-ASSOCIATIONS I hope this helps.
