No, it doesn't.  That's at Tools | Options... | Load/Save | General instead.

When I ran Office 2003 and Openoffice.org on a Vista machine I has the setting, that is listed above, ...

Sorry, but you are confused here: there are *two different* settings mentioned above.

... set for OOo to load all the Word, Excel, etc. files directly to OOo instead of MS's suite even though I had it installed.

Again, *neither* of these settings has this effect. You may well have had this arrangement, but you did not achieve it through either (or both) of these settings. The way you set Windows Vista's file associations is in Windows Vista, not in OpenOffice.

Checking the settings in the Load/Save section does a lot more than the default file format.
