What you have is a file association problem. What you are seeing
in the Windows Explorer is only that. Windows uses icons to show what
program opens the file when the file is double clicked. It has
nothing to do with the file format at all.
To do what you want to do, open Windows Explorer and browse to
the folder containing your Word documents. Right click on one of
these files and select Open With from the menu. A window opens with a
list of programs. Scroll down to the Microsoft Word listing, and
click it to highlight it. Then check the box at the bottom of the
window labeled always open this type file with this program. (Or
words to that effect.) Then click OK. The icons for the Word
documents should have just changed back to the Word icon.
