Warning: This is a guess.
The problem may be with the DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange). You might try
deleting the following registry key.
€śHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open\d deexec€ť

I tried opening a word doc under my documents rather than from my desktop. I
also tried opening a word doc that is in a folder on my desktop. Samr
results. Is that what you meant for me to try? I also tried saving one in a
folder that is under my documents. No luck...anyone else got a solution?

Try saving the doc in a different folder and seeing if it will open with a
double click.
