Hi,
I'm running Windows XP Home (fully patched and updated).
I used to use Open Office 2.0.0 and upgraded to 2.0.4.
I then purchased MS Office 2003 and installed this and then removed 2.0.4
using the uninstall. Since then, my PC does not recognize .xls format
files, and I have to force it to use MS Word to open .doc files, even ones
it has created itself. Windows still thinks these are soffice .doc files.
What is the fix?
Right click on the file. Select Open with. There should be a check box
to always use that application, select Word or Excel as appropriate.
What happened is when you installed OO, you probably told it to be the
default app for the file types. Then when you removed it, you also
removed any file associations for those MS Office files.
