You mean the Open with list? That's not a problem, as it will add

instead it opens with Word Viewer 2003 and their I can not type only view my

- - -
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.RTF]
"Progid"="rtffile"

Open Regedit.exe and navigate to the above location. Backup the key to a

See if a reboot fixes the problem. If not, download the attached .ICO file
