RE: [libreoffice-users] Windows "Open with"

I've had no trouble making that work.  Typically, I can open any of my .odt/.ods/ ..., files in any 
of Microsoft Word, whatever version of OO.o/LO that is installed on the same machine, and WinZip 
using the context menu and "Open With ...".  That is, the different ways I have opened an .odt in 
the past become added to the "Open With ..." menu.  I've even had different version of 
OpenOffice.org in the context menu, but it is hard to tell them apart so I don't try that any 
longer.

I usually have to train "Open With ..." by going to the application the hard way (browse for it in 
Program Files) the first time, but it seems to remember after that.  Remember not to check "make 
this the default" though.

I currently am running in an administrator account on all of the places where I do this.  I don't 
know if that is a factor in getting "Open With ..." to stick or not.

PS: I put WinZip on the context menu because I do document forensics work in checking 
interoperability problems and inspecting for how ODF is handled for particular cases.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Windows "Open with"

To open a selected Document with LibreOffice does anyone know how to 
make LibraOffice appear in the Windows "Open With" (and stay there).

Even when I use the "browse" within the "open with" , then locate 
LibreOffice manually, it  still does not work, as when I click on 
LibreOffice or Writer (applications), its ignored and the system jumps 
back to the browsing list.

Also Libra Office does not appear in the recommended programs list, 
whilst OpenOffice does and works fine.


Windows XP pro sp3
Libre Office 3.3 & 3.4
