BrainDedd Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) The icons for htm, html, mht and mhtml files are broken if you upgraded to IE7 with Office 2003 installed. It seems to be a problem with the msohev.dll file that puts the overlay on the icons when it sees it was created with word or excel, etc. All the icons show up as the plain IE7 icon and not the actual file icons. To fix this, you need to change the following keys: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\DefaultIcon Set (Default) to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE,-17 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mhtmlfile\DefaultIcon Set (Default) to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE,-32554 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\ShellEx\IconHandler HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mhtmlfile\ShellEx\IconHandler Rename the IconHandler key to IconHandler.bak and possibly rebuild your icon cache and you're done. Please note this is only for those that have IE7 installed as a default browser, although the IconHandler tweak may benefit Firefox users aswell. PS. Was going to add some nice .reg files, but it seems I'm not allowed to so here's their contents: HTM Fix.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\IEXPLORE.EXE,-17" [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\ShellEx\IconHandler] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\ShellEx\IconHandler.bak] @="{42042206-2D85-11D3-8CFF-005004838597}" MHT Fix.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mhtmlfile\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\IEXPLORE.EXE,-32554" [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mhtmlfile\ShellEx\IconHandler] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mhtmlfile\ShellEx\IconHandler.bak] @="{42042206-2D85-11D3-8CFF-005004838597}" Edited October 24, 2006 by BrainDedd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
