I've actually also tried that. Nothing changed unfortunately. Is there a way
to manually do what the repair should've ? I've just checked, the value you
mentioned seems to be missing completely.


You can create the proper value by hand. The trouble is that you won't
know what else might be missing.

Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document. 12, if the
DefaultIcon key doesn't exist, create it.

Within the DefaultIcon key, double-click the (Default) entry on the
right side and enter the value

C:\Windows\Installer\{91120000-002E-0000-0000-000000FF1CE}\wordicon.exe,13

Note that you should also have a similar value under the
Word.Document.8 key, except that the number at the end of the value is
1 instead of 13.
