Word Unviewer

[davidn]

I find it difficult to conceive just how installing Word Viewer (and then the mountain of compatibility packs on top of that when I realized that it couldn't actually View anything much) made Windows completely lose my program and icon associations for TXT files and wouldn't allow me to put them back until it was scrubbed from my hard drive. Microsoft have a unique collective ability to do things not quite as well as any software that's available for free.

Now I've just got to see if I can put DOCs back to OpenOffice again as well. It's not perfect by any means, but at least you can put it on your computer without ill-effects.
