Default Stop open file through Document Property

Hi,

I'm sorry. I already did this question on Windows, Office and VB NGs without
success. Maybe you can help me here.

When you double click on a file with *.DOC (or *.XLS) extension, it is open
on the Word (or Excel) by Windows Explore. If you rename the extension *.DOC
(or *.XLS), for example to *.DO_ (or *.XL_), Explorer continue opening the
file on Word (or Excel). Maybe it verifies document property and identifies
the file as Word or Excel document. Is it possible to stop this behavior? I
want Explorer open only *.DOC, *.DOT and *.RTF files extensions on Word.

I'm using Office XP on Win98.

TIA
