piaqt Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 html files are displayed as default file icon (unknown file type). I've been through folder options/ File types. in the list, the unknown icon is displayed. When I click advanced, the correct one is displayed. I've tried change icon to re-select the right one. I've even looked in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOThtmlfileDefaultIcon. The default value is C:Program FilesInternet ExplorerIEXPLORE.EXE,1. Would deleting shelliconcache help? I've tried "Repair icons" (tweakui.)

Assign a dummy icon to html2. use IconPhile and see if that works..How did this happen?When did it happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strat4play Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 If ya changed everything and tried tweak ui to try and rebuild the icon cache, and it still wont show up right, normally deleting shelliconcache would work. My prob is I have not been able to find it in XP. Maybe I'm bein lame again, but I did a search and cant find it. I do alot of changin of my gui and change and create icons all the time. but thank god XP hasnt given me that problem yet. Wrong icons was a big problem in ME n 98 tilll ya deleted shelliconcache. Rots A Ruck Piaqt, let us know if ya figure it out. Later Guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piaqt Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share Posted March 13, 2002 only suggestion I have is1. Assign a dummy icon to html2. use IconPhile and see if that works..How did this happen?When did it happen? [/quote:28e68b000e]I tried both suggestions. Nothing!:wail: :wail: As to how and why, I've been playing with icons a lot recently, with several different programs (microangelo, eicons, iconphile) as well as the native filetype options.. .Hoist by my own petard!strat4play: Thanks, and I will.
