I said I am a user. If I had the know-how to fix this myself, I 
obviously would have done so, don't you think?

(If this is the condescending attitude I have to expect here all the 
time, please let me know now so I can run for the hills.)

Anyway. I did try to follow the trail of registry entries as best I 
could, but found nothing that screamed "this is broken, change it!". 
There seem to not necessarily be physical files for templates anymore as 
there were back in the olden days; as a specific example the 
OOo/OpenDocument entries call soffice -n %1 in the LO install location. 
I have entries for the templates that don't show up in my right-click 
menu. They *seem *fine, but obviously that can't be the case.
