Select default for all .doc files

I have two MS WORD programs on my system. One is WINWORD
95 and the other is WINWORD 2000. I use them both.
However, I would like all .doc files to open on the
WINWORD 95 program. When I double click on a .doc file
in Windows Explore the file opens on WINWORD 2000. When I
right click on the .doc file and select Open With, Only
WINWORD 2000 is shown as the preferred program and I
cannot choose other program so that it will appear in the
preferred listing. Can antone help with this issue?

This can't be done. There will always be some cross pollination when you
have more than one Word version on the same operating system. The best you
can manage is to start Word first and open the documents from the
application.
