Excel & Word Docs saved with file type as 'file' and window icon
When saving excel and word documents, the file type says file with the
windows icon (which usually means not file association). This is happening on two separate PCs. What can it be? -- Tee |

See if recreating the file associations clears up the problem. Go to
Start/Run and run the following commands: winword /r excel /regserver Note the space before the forward slash. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

I am having the same problem, I typed these commands and this made no
difference. All my Word and Excel file icons are showing up as generic icons not Office icons. I tired to associate, open with, etc. all works fine but the icons are still missing. Can you help?
