I have been using Microsoft Word for many years. As of last week, all my Word icons for saved files have turned into Wordpad icons. I have to right click and select "open with" in order to open in Word. If I just double click them, they open in Wordpad.

What did I do and how do I fix it??

No clue what you did David, but I'd just like to say that I hate the new Microsoft Office suite.
