Try this .. First enable showing file extension with this : My Computer > Tools > Folder Options Click on View tab Uncheck the tickmark next to <b>Hide extensions of known file types</b> Click on Apply .. Now find out what are the hijacked extensions ... Lets say its *.vdb .. Do this My Computer > Tools > Folder Options Click on File Type tab Scroll down to find *.vdb (whatever it is :P) . Now you can either change the associated program here by clicking on Change and finding Vedabase executable .. Or if you feel adventurous, edit the reg entry by clicking on Advanced .. Under the Actions frame, Edit the <b>Open</b> command and change the executable from OOo to Vedbase .. :P You can change the icon here too .. :P Enjoy ..:D Hmm.. Try this ..
