Resolved Switched From LibreOffice to Office

Today I installed Microsoft Office 2007 on my laptop. For the last few months, I've been using LibreOffice. Office installed fine and works fine, however, my computer kept the LibreOffice file associations (even though it was uninstalled). On top of that, the icons for document files are still showing the LibreOffice icon, even after manually adding the Office associations. How do I fix this? I have no qualms about using regedit, by the way.

 

Hi XCalibur54, Welcome to WindowsBBS.
I would suggest using something like CCleaner and just Delete any reference you find to your previous software.
Here's a link to Filehippo where CCleaner is a Free download:http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner
I would use this in preference to Regedit at this stage. Cheers Neil.

 

All Office file extensions were already associated correctly. Pretty much, this is what's happening:
What I Have
What I Want

 

Xcalibur, have a read of How to Change the Default Icon of a File Extension in Windows 7 you should find all the information you need.

 

Thanks everyone, but this article gave me the solution.
