Office 2007 icons

[Todd Hudson]

After installing Office 2007 (RTM), all of my various files show up as a
generic icon, not the traditional Office 2007 icon that it should be.

I checked the default settings to ensure that Excel opens the correct file
extensions, etc and that is correct.

How do I get the icons back to what they should be?

Thanks

Change your color quality setting from 32-bit to 16-bit (display
properties) and then back. Does that restore the icons?

Did not fix anything. Other icons are fine. This issue is just the Office
2007 files.

NOTE: the icons for Word, Excel are not the issue. Rather it is the files
that end in *.doc, etc. They show up in Explorer as a generic icon, not the
Word, Excel, etc icon.

Change your color quality setting from 32-bit to 16-bit (display
properties) and then back. Does that restore the icons?
