Hi Gordon.

Well I've never used OpenOffice but it appears that its left some reference to doc 
file in the registry.

Open Control Panel - Folder Options. Click on File Types and scroll down or 
press D to goto the first D in file extensions list. Find what file opens DOC files, 
it it the old OpenOffice then just press the Delete button and Yes to remove. Close 
Folder Options and find a *.doc file on your drive. Double click it and use the Open 
with dialog to find Winword.exe in Program Files\Microsoft Office. Make sure the 
Always use the selected program to open this type of file is ticked. That 
will associate all doc file to WinWord.exe.
