Type following in Notepad:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc]
@="Word.Document.8"
"Content Type"="application/msword"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\OpenWithList]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\OpenWithList\WordPad.exe]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\ShellNew]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\Word.Document.6]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\Word.Document.6\ShellNew]
"FileName"="winword.doc"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\Word.Document.8]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\Word.Document.8\ShellNew]
"FileName"="winword8.doc"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\WordDocument]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\WordDocument\ShellNew]
"FileName"="winword2.doc"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\WordPad.Document.1]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\WordPad.Document.1\ShellNew]
"NullFile"=""

Save it with any_name.REG and then run it!
It should add "Microsoft Word Document" in NEW menu...
