Icon of the item Outlook in Windows Vista

I sometimes copy important emails from Outlook on my desktop to keep. Recently, I found that the icons for all these files 'Élément Outlook' have changed envelope (associated with Outlook 2007 emails) on the generic windows icon (associated with the files to which no specific program is assigned).

I can still open these emails without problem but when stored with many other files, it makes it difficult to identify as email without the envelope icon. I don't know how it started and so I have no idea how to do to reverse the trend. There are people who have posted similar problems on the forums, but I could not find any solution in response.

Can anyone help?

  • E-mail on the Start Menu of Windows Vista top icon does not work

    Icon of e-mail on the top of the Start Menu of Windows Vista does not work. It displays a generic icon and when clicked shows an error message that reads as follows: "Explorer.EXE - Application not found. What I want to do is to launch Windows Live Mail (version 2009). The application works normally at the start of the Menu start Windows Live Group. I can not select Windows Live Mail as the default mail in the window client Customize Start Manu, because it does not appear there at all. There is an entry under the name "Windows Live Mail", but it defines the mail client by default for the site Web of Windows Live Mail, not the program. I tried to reinstall and repair Windows Live Essentials, but neither helped.

  • Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows vista?

    Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows Vista?

    Hello

    I m not very well, but maybe you have more than 3 GB of RAM and Vista 32 bit.
    Usually the 32 bit OS is capable to manage and send only 3.2 GB.
    The more than 3.2 GB RAM will not operating system used and therefore would not increase the index
    In addition the laptop will be not really faster after upgrading RAM. You will notice better performance using applications at the same time, but this does not affect the index of Vista.
    But this is only my personal hypothesis.
