File icons suddenly changed

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, it doesn't address my problem.

The file associations are still OK, as far as I can tell. When I
double-click a .DOC file, it opens in MS Word, for example. Or, when I
double-click on a .PDF file, it opens in Adobe Acrobat.

The problem I have, although it probably seems minor, is that the Icons for
the files in Explorer and elsewhere no longer reflect what program the file
is associated with. Up until now, when I opened Explorer, every file that
had an association had a small Icon that showed what the association was.
These small Icons have now been peplaced by generic Icons.

Thanx,

Buddha
