All Microsoft Office 2007 shortcut icons, filetype icons and icons in the taskbar running have become generic on Windows 7 64.

EDIT: PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THE DESCRIPTION THAT I HAD ALREADY TRIED THE SUGGESTED THINGS AND DETAILS TO THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE ASKED ARE ALREADY IN POSITION.

I don't know what is happening, but it's driving me crazy, especially with the new start menu style that shows the icon, I am unable to say what program is because the icon looks like a generic file. If I go to default Programs editor all file extensions that are associated with Microsoft Office 2007 have become generic. How can I fix? What could have caused this?

Note on the file program (exe) himself the icon is there, but not on anything else!

I had this problem in the past and I just do a reformat/reinstall of windows and it has a way to date. I tried to regenerate my cache icon so that repair the installation of MS Office and even uninstalling and reinstalling MS Office all to nothing does not.

System Restore is not enabled then please do not suggest that.

I feel that I noticed this time that happens right after the installation of VMWare Player. It could be related? The last time when it happened, it seems possible that I had also installed VMWare Player recently but I don't remember.

Thank you.

Hello

It all depends on how you created your shortcuts. Are you talking about default desktop shortcuts in the start menu > all programs > Microsoft Office folder. These folders are shortcuts custom icons Windows Installer created by office... not directly since the EXE file. An Office repair must recreate these shortcuts. If not, you could try to remove all your desktop shortcuts and run a repair.
Here's a quick way to fix a few shortcuts:
Click on START and type > run > press enter
Paste the following command line and and change the # symbols with the appropriate below version of office.
MsiExec.exe/FS {90120000-00#- 0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}
Replace the # by the code in the appropriate version of the Office
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 = 11
Microsoft Office Standard 2007 = 12
Microsoft Office Professional 2007 = 14
Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 2nd =
Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 = CA
Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 = 2F
Missing? Other products are listed in this article:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/928516
You can also create shortcuts in the old-fashioned way. Right-click on your desktop and select new > shortcut
Browser to the Microsoft Office\Office 12\ (select the program)...
I hope this helps

  • Download gTranslate extension. How can I place a shortcut icon on the taskbar module at the bottom of the page so that I can use it?

    I added the gTranslate for Firefox extension. It is clearly shown in the list of current extensions that I have. I tried to place a shortcut icon on the toolbar at the bottom of the page module (back side where the page zoom-in/zoom icons are displayed).

    Procedure, I used: right click on the empty space on the toolbar at the bottom of page module. Click "Customize". Opens the square shape of the icons, but I don't see anything for the extension of gTranslate, I could "drag / drop" on the toolbar of the add-on.

    Ask for help with this issue.

    gTranslate not icons. You must select the text, right-click and hover the mouse over the menu item translate... and wait that the translated text to appear. You can also change languages in the submenu, or alternatively via Firefox Tools (Alt + T) > Addons > Extensions, gTranslate Options.

  • display the shortcut icon on the taskbar

    Does anyone know if you can have a shortcut icon in your taskbar instead of the application that it points toward? To clarify, I am not interested in the use of the Quick Launch bar, but the taskbar itself.

    For example: when I launch an application, this APPLICATION icon will appear in the taskbar. However, I have a custom made for this application shortcut icon (I don't like native applications icon) and I want to see MY icon in the taskbar as opposed to native applications icon.

    Is it possible, please let me know?

  • Update XP to 7 - when I try to install the Microsoft Office 2007 Suite, which was an upgrade on XP, the installation fails because no previous Ms Office could be found.

    There must be a solution out there, but I couldn't find it.  I need to reinstall Office 2007 Suite but cannot because my upgrade discs are looking for a previous installation and of course can't find it.  The version of MS Office, where I have improved in XP has a physically BROKEN DRIVE!  Now what?

    Contact MS Support & see if you can get a free replacement disc, Fern. Without it, you're sunk. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246 (if the earlier version of Office was preinstalled by the OEM, you need to get the replacement on their part.)

    Also, can such as browsers like Firefox, Opera and email programs

    In fact, all the software currently can be used with Windows 7 or 8 will be usable with Windows 10?

  • Laptop won't let me open all Microsoft Office applications, because it has been changed or moved, it no longer works properly"

    When I try to open Microsoft Office applications, a pop up comes and says that the shortcut has been changed or moved, so this shortcut no longer works correctly. I have not deleted or moved so I don't know why it does, please help someone... I really need to access these applications.

  • I want to go directly to "My Documents" when I click the icon in the taskbar. I don't want to go to the library and I then have to click My Documents.

    I tried unpin, repinning, removing, dragging shortcuts, etc.  All I want is an icon in the taskbar that will go directly into My Documents.  I do not want to use a shortcut on the desktop or through the start menu.

    Hello JoMassino,

    You can lock your documents folder to libraries (by default in your taskbar) icon. To do this, right click on your icon libraries, put highlight 'documents' and click on 'PIN to this list. To access this more later, you again do a right-click on the icon of libraries and select documents.

    Documents, media and other data can be found on the taskbar of Windows 7, but they will be added to the list of shortcuts for the associated application.

    I hope this suggestion works for you.

    When I ry to open an attachment, I only get the microsoft office Picture Manager icon and can't click on anything to view the file, which must be a text document.

    What is the extension of fixing this "text"?
    The last 3 letters of the attachment is the file extension.

    If the last 3 letters... are doc, you need Microsoft Office Word or Microsoft WordViewer.
    Here is the link to MS Word Viewer: this is a free program.

  • Shortcut icons on the desktop does not open.

    Shortcut icons on the desktop does not open unless I select a program in the "Open with" menu that appears whenever I click on a shortcut. This has only started recently.

    I've lost an icon in the taskbar to bring up the office. How can I get that back?

    Go to: Local disk (usually (C :), Documents and Settings, (userprofile, usually your name) \Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch.))

  • shortcut icons on the desktop

    OK, it is not important, but the names of my shortcut icons on the desktop, suddenly changed - now I have white writing on a gray background.  How to change?

    You can use system restore to roll back the machine back to a point just before that the problem started.

    (Thanks to Alan Edwards for what follows, a search for "icons transparent alan edwards" will always find quickly and easily the solution).

    Four things are needed for the transparent icon backgrounds:

    1. Control Panel-System-Advanced-Performance settings.
    Check "Shadows fall to use the desktop icon labels" on the display
    Effects tab.

    2 - Click on Desktop - "arrange icons by" and ensure the lock Web
    items is disabled.

    3. transparency will not work if you have the web content on your desktop.
    Control panel - display properties Desktop tab - customize the Office-
    Web tab, clear all the check boxes.

    4. ensure that the wallpaper is an image file no HTML.
