Hi,
I run Win XP home Edition.
I use outlook v 6 for some emails. I get sent many word doc documents as attachments. When I click on an attachment in outlook, wordpad opens them, and I prefer that they be opened in Ms Word. tried to correct the problem on my own, but wordpad still prevails. Deleted wordpad.exe and still wordpad opens the attachments. What can I do to remedy the problem? Thanks in anticipation.

Save the attachment to your desktop, right click the file, select open with..., highlight Microsoft Word and then at the bottom of the box select "Always user this program"
Voila :)

Hi there,
Thanks for the response. I have been opening attachements from the desk top, and I'll try what you suggest.
Thanks,

Hey getrid,
You don't have to do it from the desktop every time now, just the one time to make the fix of always opening with Word. Now you can open them from the email itself :)
