Hi Phil,
OOo doesn't change the description, Windows does.

If you choose to make OO the default handler, does it change the

OpenOffice files, they are Microsoft Word files. My brother keeps
recommending IrfanView but I won't install it because I don't want
every file on my computer to be called an IrfanView File. Applications
should not claim all files as their own!

Actually, Windows does what the installing program tells it to do when
setting the file associations. Below is an example of some Delphi code
that sets or changes the file association for a Word doc file. The
program being installed can chose to change any or all of the following
values:
with FileRegAssociation do
begin
Extension := 'doc';
FileDescription := 'Proprietary Formatted Word Document';
ExecutableFile := Application.ExeName;
ParamString := '%1';
IconFile := Application.ExeName;
IconIndex := 1;
end;
