Associations for .doc, .xls, and a slew of other Office docs are now set to OpenOffice.

They should be set to the default (eg: immediate post-install of MS Office) associations.

The only fix I've got at the moment is to go through the file associations dialog one filetype at a time through MS Windows Explorer. Tedium doesn't even begin to describe this. "Open", "New", "Print", "Print to", ....

I know these are keyed to Registry settings somewhere, ideal would be to know the hive and values. I should be able to clone these from another system.

I'm not sure that's "easier".

First, there's a shitload of options that "open with" doesn't seem to deal with -- the handful of mumbles above -- print, open, edit, new, etc.

Second, there are filetypes which aren't immediate associated. .dot, .xlb, etc. Tracking these down is a PITA.

Third...Dunno. There was a third. Refresh seemed to be the solution.
