Because after looking into this problem, i had the same problem on my
Windows7 computer,  thought well it should be easy to solve by
uninstalling/installing LO.... But that did not work   

So i dived into REGEDIT   ..... (of course obeying the rules Microsoft has
for this)

After a lot of .....time i did find a key which is the cause of this
problem.

It can be show on the commandline when doing:
REG EXPORT
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.ott\UserChoice
ott.reg

When you get an error like this:
"ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value."
you should not have this problem

The file "ott.reg" is a backup of the piece we are going to delete:

Easiest way to delete this key was via REGEDIT     
(other option gave "ERROR: Error accessing the registry."

Start REGEDIT
Find the key where HKCU is HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Whith "UserChoice" selected, press the Delete button, and confirm deletion.
Close REGEDIT

double-clicking on an .ott-file should now open a new document based on that
template.
