Icons not displaying correctly

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

All my files with a .ico or .cur extention displays wrong. Some program has
associated itself with those two file types, and now that program's icon
display instead of the icon self.
I removed the association, but now Windows just displays the default icon
used for unknown file types.

Any ideas how I can get icons to display as icons again?

I'll tell you what I would do, but you might wand to wait 24 hours for
someone to tell me I'm all wrong.

Open Windows Explorer and click Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
For both ICO and CUR click Advanced and remove all actions.

Make a file called fix.reg in Notepad from the lines below.
Doubleclick it to launch it.
Ensure the first line is REGEDIT4 and the last line is blank and that
your mail/newsreader does not add any spaces to the end of lines.


-----cut below here for ico.reg-----------
REGEDIT4


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico]
@="icofile"
"Content Type"="image/x-icon"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile]
@="Icon"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile\DefaultIcon]
@="%1"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ani]
@="anifile"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\anifile]
@="Animated Cursor"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\anifile\DefaultIcon]
@="%1"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cur]
@="curfile"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\curfile]
@="Cursor"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\curfile\DefaultIcon]
@="%1"


-----end file above here
