I have winXP LibreOffice and MS office installed.
How do I make LibreOffice the default opening program for all of its know document types?
I know that I can change one extension at a time. But is there a way to change all of them?
I want LibreOffice to open .doc .xls and ... (I do not know all of them)

please try a 'Custom Setup', see

http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/windows/
especially:
- Dialog Box #6: Choice of Typical or Custom Installation
- Dialog Box #8: Choice for File Type Associations
You may start from 'Add or Remove Programs' > 'LibreOffice...' > 'Modify',
or
(unpacked *.exe file) 'libreoffice33.msi' > right-click 'Install' > 'Modify'.

Quick update: this worked for me as well on Windows 10. It's "Apps" now instead of "Programs" but otherwise the steps are the same.

Do you mean "Do this for a couple documents and OL magically becomes the default opener for all docs."? The OP probably already knows that. Or do you mean "Do this for a couple document types and OL magically becomes the default opener for all doc types."? If so, say so. Please do not respond in comments; edit your answer to make it clearer and more complete.
