How do I make Word 2003 do ONLY what I want?
I just downloaded MS Word 2003 for opening .doc files. It worked GREAT!
However, it has moved in and taken over my icons and I think I noticed a couple of other things... how do I make it STOP? In other words how do I get it to do ONLY what I want it to do? -- dppacifican |

It's a computer. It can't do anything you didn't (somehow) tell it to
do. What do you mean by "taken over your icons"? What are "a couple of other things"? On Jun 8, 8:03*pm, dppacifican wrote: * I just downloaded MS Word 2003 for opening .doc files. It worked GREAT!

Downloaded from where? Word 2003 is not available legally as a download. If
you have downloaded a pirate copy it is possible that you have downloaded a virus with it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org dppacifican wrote: I just downloaded MS Word 2003 for opening .doc files.

How do I make Word Viewer 2003 do ONLY what I want?
I've had Yahoo! change my icons... I've had Gator change my icons... if you
install software that's OTHER people telling your computer what to do. I agree it's just a dumb machine waiting for someone to tell it what to do. Now I want to tell it to ignore some things that Word Viewer is telling it what to do. -- dppacifican "grammatim" wrote: It's a computer. It can't do anything you didn't (somehow) tell it to do.

How do I make Word Viewer 2003 do ONLY what I want?
Without claiming any degree of technical insights... a system has a certain
array of icons which fall into two general categories: those specific to the programs installed on that system and generic icons provided by the OS. If the icon associated with the type of file is available when the file shows up that's the icon which will be displayed. If not, one of the generic icons will be used. IOW, if you had no versions of Word installed some other icon would be associated with that file type. Installing a Word version then makes the associated icon available so that's what would be used in place of what had been used previously as a "substitute". If you don't like the default associations you can right-click a file (among other options) & change the association for files of that type - individually or universally. Specifics vary depending on Window version, but it's actually Windows, not the programs or "other people", that determines what icon to use for what types of files.
