Added point: when searching the Win Registry for 'libre' I find (hand
typed so some mistakes may be there):
My Computer/HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-..long
numbers\Software\Classes\Applications\libowriter.exe\shell\open\co
and the 'data' bit is:
C\"Program Files\Libreoffice 3\program\libowriter.exe
there is no such file on the system.

And of course under My Computer/HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-..long
numbers\Software\LibreOffice\LibreOffice 3.3\Start Menu I find
soffice.exe, sbase.exe, etc., etc.
