Upgrading to Office Home and Student 2010 from XP Small Business 2002

I use MS Word a lot. Whenever I want to do anything with my saved Word items, I click on Documents, click on my Word item I want and it opens up. Since I upgraded to Office Home and Student 2010, when I click on the Word item I want, a window opens up and asks me what program I want to use to open it up, 'Notepad' or 'Wordpad'. I want neither. I just want it to open up like it did before I upgraded. Any solutions?

Thank you,

Hello Frederick and welcome to Seven Forums.

You may have to change the default program that opens Word documents. See if this tutorial helps.
