I'm running Windows Vista on a computer we've had for about a year.
Within the past week, all of the document files on my wife's user have stopped identifying as Microsoft Word Doc files. If she tried to open one from her documents folder it opens in the notepad. When viewed in the documents folder the little Microsoft Word icon for each file is not there.

She can open them if she has Word open and uses file/open.

On my user everything works as it should. This just started happening a week or two ago. She doesn't have admin rights on her user, so I can't see her having changed anything, but it is very strange that whenever she gets around anything electronic the device seems to develop problems.

Any ideas on a fix? Thanks.
