There's also an option to Browse for your own choice of program.  You
can use this to poke around anywhere on your computer to find the LO
launcher.  It helps to look at everything in the windows that open (I
know, I miss them all the time and have to look twice, too).

No, you have to do a little more work this way on the first such
entity (because you actually have to type in the command), but then if
you copy taht to the clipboard, you can paste it in subsequent file
types.

I have no idea what that means - if it's installed, the executable is
out there somewhere.  Any menu that contains a link to launch the
installed programs can be open with right-click->Properties, and you
can see what's inside that makes it tick.  At the very least, the All
Programs menu will have it (if not, you don't have it installed...).
