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!

When you install an application in Windows, the installer asks (every
properly programmed application installer should) whether you want
certain files to be associated with the application being installed. You
can choose there if you want Windows to associate .doc files with OOo or
not, or you can choose if you want certain image files to be associated
with IrfanViewer or not. After the installation, Windows will change the
icons of the files accordingly. You are in no way forced to associate
.doc files with OOo.
In any case, once you have installed an application, you can always
change the file association from Options menu from an application.
BTW, IrfanViewer is a pretty nice piece of image viewer (and editing?)
application. One of the things I like best in it is its ability to do
batch processing --- apply some operation on a bunch of image files in
one go.
