Microsoft Office 2010 Help

[DaveShoelace]

Done many a google search and no help yet, you guys never fail me though.

New PC, Windows 7 and I installed the new Microsoft Office 2010. It had a trial version of Office 2007 that was interfering with some stuff (It was opening picture documents with the picture manager 2007 but not letting me view them as I didnt have a 2007 product key) so I uninstalled it.

Now when I double click on a word or excel document in a folder, it does not open them. The only way I can open them is to go into word/excel first and open them through that, which is a pain.

Any idea what I need to do to amend this? There were a bunch of suggestions for this problem in XP/Vista but they didnt work, so it might be a windows 7 thing
