DOC files open with wrong program.
I have both Word97 and OpenOffice installed. When I double click
myfile.doc it opens with OpenOffice. I have set [start][setting][folder options][file types] all five word types to open with winword.exe using. "D:\MSOFFICE\OFFICE\WINWORD.EXE" /n I CAN open the .doc with Word by [cntl][rgt click][open with][winword] There seems to be more to it than just changing the folder options. How can I fix this so Word by default opens the .DOC files? How can I switch the default program back and forth between word and OpenOffice? My OS=Windows98SE Help will be appreciated, Stan Hilliard |

DOC files open with wrong program.
Method 1: run winword.exe with the /r switch. That's R for Re-register.
Method 2: In Windows Explorer, go to Tools Folder Options File Types (sounds like you tried this) Method 3: Open the registry and set the extension associations manually.
