RE: Word Icon

One more thing I noticed. When I select a .doc file in Windows Explorer the
info at the bottom of the screen says "Type: Wordpad Document
Author:......" and so on. So it seems that even though Word will open when I
double-click on the file it is somehow still not registered correctly.
Thanks for any help.
