File icon Word now changed to DOCX in Wordpad can I get it back

Hello community, I have little knowledge about computers please bare with me.

I have Windows 7 Home Premium service pack1 copyright 2009 with word 2010 starter.

The file of the "word" icon has now changed to "DOCX" in my documents. When I open it, it says that it is in the word pad. When I go into 'open with' right click it recommends a default Word Pad. "When I opened the box below this for a choice by default, there is no" word "to implement.

If I go into word starter 2010 click on the file drop in "recent documents" it no longer displays the Word icon, but the icon DOCX. However, when you open it it is more States, it is in Word pad and resembles the previous Word available. (I hope that makes sense).

As Word Pad says it doesn't support all the features of this format, how do I get in the ordinary Word and Word pad when you open the DOCX file. (That used to have the "Word" icon on the document)

Cordially 1485

I got an e-mail asking if I found an answer and show it. Well, I found the answer myself. The problem is that I can't indicate the links that I forgot all the information. But I can generalize on how I did it.

The family installation premium of Microsoft office 365, I lost the Word icon Microsoft office starter 2010 which changed the Word icon Office Premium 365.However, some time later that everything went pear shape and I could open word in micro office 2010 starter, but he is only saved in Word as in my original message pad. I couldn't open Office 365, so I gritted my teeth with fingers crossed and done so.

In Control Panel uninstall programs I found this Microsoft 2010 office starter and Microsoft office 365 was sitting there as a program. So I decided to uninstall Microsoft office 365.

I used a Difficulty of Microsoft to uninstall office 365, and then follow the instructions to reinstall. To reinstall, I had to go to my account to be accepted for resettlement.

It was a success. When I clicked on default options this time around THAT WORD was there for an option I have chosen course. Lo my DOCX icon changed to word icon, were more files saved in Word Pad. but in word.

Hope that makes sense.

    I let someone use my computer and now my sound has diappeared from my taskbar icon.  How can I restore it?

    Control Panel > sounds etc. > make sure 'Place icon in taskbar/Systray' (or similar) is checked. If it is already so the next step is:

    Right click on desktop > Explorer > tools > file options > view > make sure that "Show the hidden files and folders" is checked > in the left pane of the Explorer, go to the c:\windows\system32\dllcache and locate the sndvol23.exe file > copy then paste it here to the c:\windows\system32 folder, overwriting the existing one if asked.

    If you do not ddlcache, you will need to get out of your XP CD and put it in your car without that it doesn't start.

    Start > run > type msconfig.exe > hit enter or click on OK > click on extract a file > then fill as follows / top box - sndvol32.exe > middle box - click on the arrow and select your CD/DVD drive > lower box - c:\windows\system32 > extract > crush if requested, then OK your way back. > re-boot.

  • Accidentally right click the Blue Star and now he's gone. How can I get that back?

    I was looking for a way to put the bookmark in the right category. Right click and then I think I clicked on one marked 'menu of options', but I do not know because at that time there closed the dialog box and the Blue Star is no more.
    I can't find any instructions to use the new options of customization, mentioned in stories about 29.

    Just go to the Menu bar (press F10 or Alt to the unhide) now go to view > > toolbars > > Customize > > look right, look for favorite icon, the drag and drop in the toolbar.

    I think when you click in the option to switch to the menu.

  • File open cs4 CS5, and then wrote about it, can I get it back? Bonehead error.

    I opened a cs4 CS5 file. She said that it would not replace the existing file (or something like that). I've made a few changes (deletion of the previous sequence) and I forgot to save as. When I worked and clicked on save, I wrote too much the old file. I'm hoping to find the version cs4 file.

    My files are not on the C: and I have no backup.

    Someone good new for me on a folder that I can find the previous version in? I'm hoping against hope.

    Thank you

    Back in CS4, look for the last automatic backup file in this folder. Note: the AutoSave files are FIFO, so check the date and time and do NOT rely on 001-005 designations.

    Good luck and I hope that one of those is narrow.

    You should go to settings > general > keyboard. You might have turned off auto-correction, predictive, preview or shortened character. That might solve your problem, but it also might not. I hope it works for you, you find the solution and enjoy your evening!

  • change the size of the icon screen '100% ' disappeared. How can I get that back.

    I had my computer fixed recently.  No, I have to change the size of the content on the screen to go when I'm on the internet?  I use 100% by the icon at the bottom of my screen and it has now disappeared.  How can I get that back?  Why have I to change the size of the Web page after my computer has been repaired?

    I guess you're talking about Internet Explorer...
    He could reappear if you turn on the status bar.  To enable it, start Internet Explorer, and then
    View-> toolbars-> and make sure that there is a check in front of the "status bar".
    If you do not have a menu 'View' then press the 'Alt' key once.

    Also, you should be able to go to 100% by pressing the 'Ctrl' key while pressing "0" (zero).

    You can also zoom in and out by holding down the 'Ctrl' key and turning the mouse wheel.
