Comment 1 bfoman 2012-08-09 08:08:53 UTC 
Confirmed with:
LO 3.6.0.4 
Build ID: 932b512
Windows 8 Release Preview 32 bit
VirtualBox 4.1.18

For files in .docx format "C:Program Files\LibreOffice 3.6\program\\swriter.exe" -o "%1" is displayed in Open with... window. 
For native .odt files LibreOffice Writer is displayed.
When checking file associations in Control Panel>Programs>Default Programs>Set Associations LibreOffice is presented as Unknown application for many formats like .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx.
LibreOffice is recognized for all native formats and for example .csv or .dbf.

Not really. Please submit bug reports according to http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport guide. Attached screenshot lacks many useful informations and, most of all, you can't search its content.

I cc Jesus, probably he knows where to set the name for this dialog. Brennan, you can also help, search in the registry for "Microsoft Word" and try to find out which one is used in relation of this dialog (related to opening of file type .docx).

It uses an SWRITER.EXE description string for this dialog for me.
Comment 5 Urmas 2013-09-01 12:20:12 UTC 
This behavior is caused by the double backslash in the command line.

The string itself comes from the 'open' verb of various LibreOffice.* types in Registry.

Let me take a look at this
Comment 7 Jesus Corrius 2013-09-02 11:05:28 UTC 
I tested it and works fine now with the latest master build and I suspect this will work fine also in LibreOffice 4.1.2 as I introduced some fixes for Windows 7 that accidentally fix this issue too. It should still be reproducible in LibreOffice 4.1.1 as the fixed were made after.

We can keep this issue open until it's verified, but I am confident that this is fixed now.
Comment 8 pavel.lastovicka 2014-03-14 12:39:24 UTC 
I can confirm this bug is present in 4.1.3.
If it is really fixed in recent code, it would be nice to know exactly in which version. Thank you.

I can confirm the double backslash still exists in 4.2.5.2
