Re-setting default program for attachments

[trevor]

I have Vista 32 bit. Also have MS Office 2007. Attachemnts with a *.doc
extension are opened with Microsoft Word Processor *.msp. I want to open
these files with MS Office Word instead.

I went to Default , Program associations and tried to switch to MS Office
Word. The icon was available ( as was that for MSP) I clicked on my
preference and exited only to find that this change was not recognised and I
am back to MSP.

Tried this 3 times including a restart. Nothing worked.

Qu Is it possible to switch from MSP for *.doc file and if so how?

Cheers

Umm no - according to www.filext.com the extension msp is anything BUT
Works. I always thought Works WP is .wps isn't it?

Save a .doc to your HDD. Right-click on it and choose Open With. Select Word
and make sure that the box "Always Open etc etc" at the bottom of the box is
checked.
