Thanks for that. I'd rather hoped there was a way of doing it which would
leave the folder options unchanged, but this is a method I'll adopt if
there's no alternative.

You can name a desktop icon anything. It's what's in the properties that

But this isn't an icon, is it? It's the actual document, saved on the
desktop. If I delete the .doc extension, it won't open unless I specify
Word in the dialogue box that crops up. And there doesn't seem to be the
old option of "always use this program to open files of this sort",
presumably because without an extension, there isn't a sort for the file to
belong to.
