Resetting User Profile
As a computer illiterate, I painfully tried to follow Hagar's
suggestion to reset the user profile (I have Windows XP) and got into
Folder Options and then File Types where there were a lot of
OpenOffice.org 1.1 Configuration Files, each with a different
extension, usually of the form S** or X**. No sign of anything
saying Path. Should these be deleted? If so, which ones?

Folder options are used to make the hidden folders displayed only. No need to change anything else.
The Path information is given in the OpenOffice menu Tools>Options>OOo>Path and then check what is the full path in Documents and Settings.
Once you've that path, go to that place with your file browser (Explorer) and rename the folder /user (to /user.old for example). Make sure that OpenOffice is closed.
Please follow the tutorial and if there is something unclear, tell us.

Hey, All,
I hate to sound like a heretic, but I’ve recently downloaded LibreOffice and, although I’ve been using Open Office for several years, I am finding that I like LIbreOffice better.
You can open all your existing Open Office docs with it, no problem.
At this point, I still have both Open Office and LibreOffice on my computer, but if LibreOffice continues to seem superior, I’ll remove Open Office.
