Good evening Staff, including Redshirt, Fragos, and visitors,

After working with some OpenOffice, version 2.0 files (abbreviated OO,v2 in this thread) and using the pop-up menu option entitled: "always use this application when opening this file," I seem to have erroneously "TOLD" the OO,v2 application to attempt to open at least four types of FOLDERS as well as simple plain text files:

These folders include:
1. all newly-created Desktop folders and older Desktop folders containing files
2. the My Computer folder on Desktop;
3. ALL the My Computer-contained subfolders and
4. Network Browsing folder on Desktop.

This evening, 2 hours ago, all these folders opened by simply using ONE CLICK OF THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON. But now this same action generates the "green horned gecko" icon of OO,v2 and a futile attempt to open a folder that it "thinks" is an OO,v2 file!

Please help me restore the original default, which allowed all folders to open and display their contents with a left mouse click, rather than automatically attempting the incorrect option of using OOv2.

Sincerely,
langbein

Okay, there should be a nice way to remedy this.
Kmenu > KDE Components > File Associations. You can then search thru for those file types and fix them to be opened by konquerer.

Thank you again, RedShirt for "saving my bacon,"
The File Associations/media/Application Preference Order would not allow me to remove OpenOffice.writer, but responded with the following instructions:
<<The service OpenOffice.org Writer can not be removed. The service is listed here because it has been associated with the inode/directory (Folder) file type and files of type media/audiocd (Audio CD) are per definition also of type inode/directory. Either select the inode/directory file type to remove the service from there or move the service down to deprecate it.>>

I found inode just above media and did the following:
1.Opened inode/directory folder and removed OOv2 from application preference order window; pushed apply, returned to the Desktop and all the open folder defaults returned to open folder with ONE LEFT CLICK ! Success!!

2.After this change was saved/configured, I examined the inode/system_directory and found that OOv2 was first in the Application Preference Order above Konqueror; I decided to move OOv2 from first preference to second preference in this folder. Was this necessary and correct or should OOv2 be returned to first preference order??

Sincerely,
