Isn't the file extension .doc, not .dot? You have to have Word installed on
your computer to read the file. Word, Excel, PP, etc have never been
included in XP or any other Windows version.

A .dot file is a document template file. Word should open it just fine. But
the question is, do you have Word, or a comparable program on your computer.
Windows XP is just the operating systems and doesn't include Word as part of
the OS.

Not Read only on my machine.
Normal.dot isn't even read only.
None of my *.dot files are read only.

You shouldn't need to open them unless you wish to change them.
