I believe there may be some slight issues due to the fact that both
LibO and OOo have the same process name (soffice.exe).  I vaguely
remember hearing/reading that Windows gets slightly confused in the
"Open with..." dialogue, in that it doesn't "remember" the default
correctly when you try to change it.  But like I said, I don't
remember the details very well.

You could download LibreOfficePortable
(portableapps.com/libreofficeportable).  It doesn't involve any
registry entries as it is made to run from a flash-disk (all the
"settings" are contained in sub folders rather than the registry).
Version 3.3.2 is available.
