When I try to open an application ex. *.doc with doubleclick on the file, I can't open the document because the .doc extension is not linked with word.

Now I wanted to change the link in Explorer in the menu extras, folderoptions, filetypes. I logged in as "Administrator" but the menu appears as deactivates and is grey represented.
Where can I activate the menu so that i can configure the links for the extensions?

Thanks in advantage for your tips

With regards

Ramon

Right click on file in question and click on open with. Check the box that says "always open with" and then find Word or whatever program you would like to use to open that extention. If the program you are looking for is not in the window, click browse and choose from there.

hope this helps
