My initial thought would be that it's the file associations that are broken,
not the files.
AFAIK there is no such thing as a WordPad document. By default, WordPad
creates RTF files, I think, and the RTF extension might have been associated
with WordPad by accident.
This link
http://help.lockergnome.com/office/Word-convert-Word-Pad-Word-files-ftopict714979.html
talks about this. So does
http://help.lockergnome.com/office/stop-doc-opening-wordpad-ftopict1003158.html
and http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread605001.html.
