then open the
registry and delete
the file types.

then re do them
as per the kb.

click start>run>
regedit

then do a search
for .html via the
menu bar.

the sample extension
will take you to the
tree where all the branches
are to the file types.

then go to .doc and
delete the keys,

then exit and reboot.

(do just one ext at this time
to test the methodology.)

now double click on a
doc file and see what
happens.

if no program initiates,
then this is the opportunity
to associate the doc ext
to the winword.exe program
via the file types method.

use the the data I provided
in the earlier posting to create
the open command for the doc
file types.

afterwarrds double click on a
doc file and if word opens,
then you have proven the
method above as viable and
you can proceed to change
the other ext's as well.

on the other hand if clicking
on a doc file still opens the
wrong program,

then perhaps your office
program can be said to be
hijacked.
