      Right click any Doc file and click Open With and then find Microsoft Word 2003 and select the box for “Always use the selected program to open this kind of file”. That should fix your problem.

      or right click the txt file and click properties and in the general tab just
      below the file name and icon is the box for type of file and what to open
      with. Click change and select your choice application.

      This should change all like file types.
