After having installed IconChanger then removing it entirely and re-instating default icons some icons for certain file types no longer appear with the Microsoft Word Icon on them. In Windows Vista, how does one change/fix this?

I have linked to a screenshot below for any/all needed clarification.

Thank you in advanced,

Try reinstalling or repairing Microsoft Office. It may restore the icons.

This was surprisingly obvious and it worked.
I had hoped their would be an option like in Windows XP to associate certain icons with certain file types (without changing the default program), but it worked in the end so I'm glad. :)

And IF/ZB support has gone crazy xD
I wonder if it's just this board or all s2 boards. :-?

Anyhow, I'm glad it wasn't some silly email/virus or something that did it to me (the icon thing). :r

That would be an advertising mail you got. Nothing to do with the server time issues going on at the moment. Can you PM me full email you received please.
