If you right click on this you will be offered a choice of OO components (Writer, Calc, etc.) to start. Also on this menu is an item labelled "Load OOo during system startup" (or similar). If you check this item then the Quickstarter icon will survive system re-boots. Also, assuming you let OOo become your default for documents, spreadsheets etc. on Windows, then double clicking a document, spreadsheet, presentation or whatever will invoke the relevant component of OOo.This applies even to MS documents (.doc, .pps, etc.).
