HELP! Word Icon

[Ross Clarke]

When my computer was delivered it had Works 8.5 installed on it and when I
transferred my files I associated .doc files with Works Word Processor. Then
I installed Office 2007 and Word didn't take the .doc association so I used
Open With... to specify Word as the default program. I then uninstalled
Works. My problem is that Open With... Made the icon for a .doc file a sheet
of paper with the Word Logo inside it (like it does for every type you
associate with Open With...), not the default logo. Does anybody
now how I can get the icon back to the 'proper' Word one? It isn't a
problem, as such, but it would be nice to get it fixed. One suggestion I had
before was to go to Tools > Folder Options > File Types but there is no File
Types option. Any help is welcome.

Hi Ross,

Try to re-register Word:
Windows Start > Run... > winword.exe /r

If that doesn't do the trick, post back.

Regards,
Klaus

Thanks for the idea, but the icon stays the same.
