------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Nov 27 11:47:25 -0800 2006 ------- This problem began rather recently (within the past month) on a friend's new Lenovo Windows XP SP2-based laptop. She reportedly received a document of unknown format via e-mail and saved it to her desktop. When she edited it using OO Writer 2.0 and saved it to her desktop again the file's icon was a generic Windows type. Right-clicking on "Properties" shows file type as "File" and "Description" was the file's name. >From that point on any document she creates she must be opened by double-clicking, selecting "Open Office 2.0" for "Open with", create or edit, and save. The saved file is now always of the generic type. The Tools path of "Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -> General" shows her default Document type as "Text document" and "Always save as" "OpenDocument Text". When we create a New document this way: - right-click on desktop, - create New - select OpenDocument test a new file icon appears on the desktop in the OpenDocument style. But when she starts the OO Writer, opens that file, edits and saves it, the generic icon replaces the OD icon and once again she must edit the file by "Open with", etc. We uninstalled all of OpenOffice and downloaded and installed OO 2.0.4. No difference in symptoms/behavior. We turned on the Guest account under XP and went through reproducing the problem (downloading a "bogus" file from e-mail, editing, saving). The downloaded file when edited is saved as an OO document to the Guest account's desktop with the appropriate icon. It can also be saved as a Word document, which is very important for her when sharing files with professors and classmates who must use MS Word or Office. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
