| | Re-setting default program for attachments 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 -- Trevor |
