Subject: Unable to open DOCX with MS-WORD

I downloaded and installed the latest version of OpenOffice, primarily to
use Draw.  I opened a Word document and saw that the default was the
OpenOffice word processor instead of MS-Word.  So I uninstalled OpenOffice
using the Control Panel thinking that I would see if I could just install
Draw.  Then I noticed that all the .docx icons had changed (but not the .doc
icons - see attached .gif).  I started to panic when I tried to open a .docx
and I got a popup asking for my registration key.  Naturally, I can't find
my registration disks.  Curiously, there is no problem with the other
MS-Office documents (.xlsx, .accdb).  Also I discovered a workaround: if I
click on the MS-Word icon I can then open a docx from inside MS-Word.  Are
you aware of this issue and is there any way around it?
