-=PCTechTalk=- Re: how do I make Open Office my default program - update

I didn't find my actual question on Open Office site but found something 
that worked - but it only worked half way - I swear Microsoft should be 
euthanized!.  I went into my computer, tools, folder options and changed 
.rtf to open with open office.  So back I go to the site, click on the .rft 
link and up pops MICRCROS$$$$FT!.  After I finished grumbling I decided to 
try something else and it worked - I had to first save the file and then I 
could right click on it and open it with open office - mind you even though 
I have it set in my folder options!  Oh well problem solved for that
