[Solved] Windows 10 Default Icons Issue

Post by mitchwars »

This is my first post so please forgive this question you may have seen many times. Windows 10 (Microsoft) keeps changing my docs to word as the default and I don't have a paid MS product so I can't do anything with the docs. I tried to find and change the default but all I get is a list with no way to reset it. HELP! and thank you.

Note that your documents aren't being converted to Word, but the file associations are changed to set MS Office as the default program to open them when you double click on the files. You can still open your OpenOffice documents from within OpenOffice via the File | Open menu.

See [Tutorial] Setting the default program to open files for how to change the file associations.
