WordPad is part of Windows XP, but if you used WORD 6.0 and
saved your files in .doc format and you're trying to open
the files with a double click on the file, you need to
establish a file association. You can also install
OFFICE/WORD.

Right click one of the files and select "open with" and
select WordPad (do not click "always use" yet) and make sure
that the file open correctly. If it does, then right click
again and select "open with" setting "always use" as
default.

Most likely, you'll find just one of these subkeys on your computer.
However, it's no problem to create the missing subkey and DWORD
according to that article. For instance, create the second subkey
and DWORD also if this change shall apply system wide.

Unclear wording in that article. It says :
2. Locate then click one of the following registry subkeys........
Does it mean either or both?
