From: castineira on 28 May 2010 07:36 Hi there, I'm having the same problem. Every app works, fine, the files associations are right, but the icons of the documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc) aren't the one of the associated app. Has anyone got an answer to this issue?

In my case it was caused by an upgrade to an application called ACT! The only way I could get the icons back was to restore the computer to the state it was in before the upgrade. Check out this blog: http://blog.gnu-designs.com/solved-missing-microsoft-office-2007-shortcut-icons This restored some, but not all of the icons. Also with Windows 7 I did not have the luxury of going into Folder Options >File Types so I compared the files on this machine to a like machine. Since no one was using the workstation at the time, the system restore was the best option to get back all of the Office icons. Hope this helps, sorry for the late reply.
