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, 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. Any help is welcome.

Hi Ross,

What is the logo you were expecting? For Word 2007 the logo with 'paper' for a document is the default (actually one of a series of
variants for .doc, .docx, .docm, .dotx, .dotm, .rtf).

In Windows Explorer you can use Tools=Folder Options=File Types,
select .doc (or other) file type then Select
Advanced=Change Icon
to select another.

There is no File Types option in Folder Options.

Hi Ross,

Are you using Windows XP? If you open Windows Explorer (you can right click on the Start button and choose 'Explore') and go to
Tools=Folder Options
what are the names of the tabs in the 'Folder Options' dialog?
