I lost my Excel files Excel icon...

I use MS Office 2003 on my XP SP3. Since a few weeks ago special Excel icon that belongs to each XL file is replaced by a kind of General icon everywhere wherever I look on my system. Word, Access, and Powerpoint-icons are all ok. When I look at ControlPanel / / / / Folderalternativ/Filtypes and XLS icon next is too general and not an Excel icon. This depends on an update, (which is done automatically), or can I fix it by myself somehow?

Have you performed a search to see it this file exist on your PC? My folder tree is identical to yours, so must have been put there by the Office Setup program.

As an alternative, if the file is not anywhere, then you can navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\ (depending on your version of Office) "Change icon", highlight Excel.exe and select an icon for the breast. The default value is the first icon shown, as you will see.

    You can set the 'visible' reference applications Excel to "False".

    I generally do not use screws report generation, so I hope that you need to change one that opens the reference app Excel and save it under a different name.  I almost always interact with Excel directly using ActiveX, so I do not know what VI you will have to change.

    Run revo and use it to view all your installed software, including HP MediaSmart. Make a right click on the program icon you want to remove and select uninstall.  It will initially launch the uninstaller own applications (which can or well failure) but continue with the rest of the process.  During the process, that you may be asked to remove the registry entries, simply select all and then click on remove.  Do the same for any left over files and folders.  Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the PC.

    What do you think average with "I tried with the restore CD but nothing '? Have you tried to completely format your HARD drive? I had a similar problem, but in my case it was because of the transplant of BONE... so I reinstalled the system from the beginning and it was ok.
    If you can not solve this problem with the cd supplied by the factory... I think it might be a hardware problem, probably due to the HARD drive. Your HARD drive makes strange noises, like "Click - Clack"?
