file associations

[Anton]

We recently changed from Office Xp to Office 2003. My
users have many Word files, the documents are not being
associated with Word (they don't have the Word icon, they
have the unknown file icon) Excel, Powerpoint have the
proper icons, just not Word files. If you double click
the file it opens Word but why don't they appear as Word
files in the folders?

We run Office 2003, Xp Pro sp1, 2000 Server sp4
