perhaps, the file
associations are
not correct.

open explorer,
click on tools,
click on folder options,
then click on the
file type tab.


search those extensions
you provided and ensure
that they are set to open
with the appropriate program
and the accurate location of
the .exe

out of curiosity, I checked
my own .doc extension.

clicking on its "advance"
button and then clicking on
the edit button for the
"Open" action I have the
following:

Action:
&Open

Application used...:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE" /n /dde

Use DDE
[checked]

DDE Message
[REM _DDE_Direct][FileOpen("%1")]

Application
WinWord

DDE App...Not Running
...{empty/blank}

Topic
System

----------------

so if your word .exe file
is located in its default
location like mine is,

then when you click / open
..doc files,

winword.exe should
initiate afterwards.
