I first tried to fix the problem in the Windows File Types settings on
machines that still had LO, but found for example that "DOC" files were
identified as "Microsoft Word Document" to be opened with LO.  Changing the
"Opens With" app to MS Word would change the file type to "DOC File" without
a full description. 

This appears to affect XP and not Win7 and I can fix our image (with a lot
of hassle), but I think this is a problem that needs to be addressed.  Since
there has got to be people out there who have MS Office, and tried and
uninstalled LO (or Go-OO), I'm actually surprised there hasn't been anyone
else (that I can find) who has screamed about their file types left to hang
in the breeze.  Has anyone else seen this issue and/or have suggestions on
what happened or how to fix it more easily (for existing users)?

Thanks.

Maybe this will help?
