Opening Word files from Desktop in Vista Home Premium
After Vista Home Premium SP1 I cannot open Word files through desktop
Documents. If I open Word I can bring up files without any difficulty from there. Also can't open attachments on Windows Mail. Was ok before sp1 but this may be coincidence. Any advice? Rod. |

Does repairing Winword help? If not, inspect the .DOC file association
settings. 1. Download FileExtInfo.zip from he http://windowsxp.mvps.org/fileextinfo.htm 2. Unzip the utility and extract the files to Desktop. 3. Double-click "FileExtInfo.exe" to run it. 4. Select .DOC file type from the list box 5. Click "View file association report" 6. Copy the contents of the report and include it in your reply. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] The Winhelponline Blog: http://www.winhelponline.com/blog Windows® Troubleshooting: http://www.winhelponline.com "rodney" wrote in message ...

Thanks Ramesh Repair didn't work. I got down to View file association
report, but it doesn't let me copy, only paste, so I don't know how I can copy the contents to you. Is there a simple way to do this that I haven't noticed.

Thanks Ramesh Repair didn't work. I got down to View file association report, but it doesn't let me copy, only paste, so I don't know how I can copy the contents to you. Is there a simple way to do this that I haven't noticed. Rod "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote: Does repairing Winword help? If not, inspect the .DOC file association settings. 1.
