Right click on one file of each type you wish OpenOffice to handle, select "Open with" from the popup, and choose OpenOffice from the list of applications offered. There may be an "always open with this application" choice, which you should also select.

The above solution Submitted by RoryOF worked only after I took several steps. When I tried the suggested procedure, I couldn't see OpenOffice in the applications list. I had to de-install OpenOffice 4.1.5 from my Windows 10 c:/program files (x86) folder and I reloaded it into the c:/program files folder. Then I could see OpenOffice in the applications list.
Open Office Version: 4.1.5 and Windows 10.
