Default Opening a file in Word from file icon

I just recently updated to Office 2007 and am using Windows XP. I did try
the fix for an install error which did make fix it so that when I can double
click on an icon it actually opens the Word program, but the document does
not load.

Hi ?B?UFctVEFNVQ==?=,

I can't open a Word file by going to the file saved on my computer. I can
only open it if I first go to Wrod and do the File, Open, then locate the
file and open it. This is not a good deal - since I recieve a lot of files
by email that just need to look at and not save. But because of this
problem, I can't do that.

What happens when you try to do that? And which version of Word and Windows are
you using.
