Often enough, in fact, for the change in OO 2.4 to be very welcome - the pre-selection of xls and ppt file associations in the windows installer dialog box. I would welcome a post-install file associations manager, but suspect that for many users they just wont 'get it'. The idea and concept of file association is just too technical for them. Yes really! That is how brittle I observe many user's understanding of computers is! I feel that in the windows installer. all checkboxes for MSO file types should be checked by default, UNLESS the installer detects MSO installed, where they should by default be unchecked. Furthermore, docx, xlsx (and when operational, pptx) file types should be associated with OO unless a version of MSO 2007 or later is already installed. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

It would be nice if the installer automatically made it easy for people to launch Openoffice by adding a desktop icon, just like most other windows programs do, such as: Firefox, Thunderbird, Adobe Acrobat, Audacity, Gimp, Free-AV and around 90% of all others. A checkbox, selected by default, in the windows installer Add icon to Desktop would be great. I accept and appreciate the principle of a tidy, uncluttered desktop, but most programs in windows do tend to create a desktop icon unless told otherwise, and desktop icons give an immediate view of the most important programs installed. Openoffice is the most important program I install on Windows. I therefore always need a desktop icon for the windows user to be reminded it is there. Openoffice Writer is probably the most used program in the suite, so is the most suitable launcher for the desktop. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The desktop icon will be introduced with OOo 3.0. Defaulting OOo to the MS file types unless MSO is installed is a bad habit we don't want to adopt. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

(I do believe that users should easily be able to switch to a default behaviour of saving in MSO file formats through a simple check box in the save dialogue, but provided a notice in the save dialogue warns users against it). My suggestion is simply that for any MSO file extension that OO can handle, but is not already handled by an installed copy of MSO, the installer should, *by default* - without the user having to make any settings changes, associate that file type with OO. By extension of this, if the installed version of OO is old enough to not support xlsx and docx, the OO installer should, by default, associate these with OO. To put it another way, if a user has Microsoft Office installed on their system, the user should need to click some check boxes at install time to tell the installer they want Openoffice to become the default handler for the MSO file types. If the user doesn't have Microsoft Office installed on their system, the user should need to click some check boxes to tell the installer they *don't* want OO to become the default handler for the file types. That way, I believe the installer will guess what the user wants 90% of the time, and still give the user complete control at install time. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
