All links open in word

[Taliseth]

First of all before you all call me stupid and tell me to search, I have already done that and it did not work

I restarted the computer
I checked file ascociations
I reset the file ascociations
I Checked all the program defaults
I edited the registry by using the files here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html

None of it works, so.... my question how do I fix this, short from uninstalling MS Word?

The link you provided, you tried to use the EXE fix, & possibly the LNK fix (those would be the ones I try first). If so, have you tried to restore to an earlier point in time before the problem occurred?

I have yet to try restoring, must have slipped my mind.
As stated above, using the .exe and .lnk fix did not 'fix' it. I shall try the restore option.

If that doesn't work any other solutions? I think it goes a bit far to have to uninstall word just to make this problem stop..

using windows restore was just the same as uninstalling office... oh well guess I'll install it again.
