Default HELP! Word Icon Display

As has previously been explained, the default icon for Word documents *is* a
sheet of paper with the Word logo on it. So what you have described seems to
be the correct icon.

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. Another was to reregister Word (winword.exe /r) but that
doesn't work either.Any help is welcome.
