Shortcut icons and desktop Windows 7 file to change default

The shortcut icons for the Office 2010 applications on my desktop and icons for office and acrobat files have re-established a kind of default icon.

Try to recreate the icon cache and restarting didn't work.

The Microsoft fix - it rearranged only the icons without restoring the good.

Attempt to right click and reset the program that should open with the files does not change the icons back to normal

Can someone tell me please:

(1) how do I create/get a new set of icons

(2) where should I copy this set of icons to

(3) how to ensure that Windows 7 is directed to the exact location of these icons AND use them

I'm ok with changes to the registry, if I have to.

Thanks in advance for your help

  • Cannot load help and Support Windows as file registery HELPCTR. EXE is missing how restore?

    Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/App Paths is missing HELPCTR. EXE.  Want to know how to reinstall HELPCTR. EXE.

    First see if it works:

    The Center help and Support sometimes get broken with overzealous cleaning and there are a lot of things to 'try' who sometimes work and sometimes they are not. Sometimes people drop everything simply and never reuse Help and Support Center, but it can still be repaired.

    Do you now or nave already used third-party applications on your system where the product description includes descriptive as sentences:

    cleaner, mechanic, detective, doctor, heal, optimize, clean up, tune up, speed up, set towards the top, compact, compress, faster, power, boost, boost, gum, muncher. guaranteed or all that has an icon that looks like a key, the key or the screwdriver?

    We will restore some things in the registry who sometimes kill himself by malicious software or, sometimes, these cleaning programs.

    Before making any changes to your registry (although I hope that this update), make a copy of your registry with this free and popular tool:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

    Then go to this page WWW of Riou (thanks, Ramesh).

    http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/startmenuhelp.htm

    When you click the file startmenuhelp.reg on this page with your browser, you will see a bunch of text that
    is the registry information that you want to apply to your system.  It seems daunting, but it's not so bad.

    Press Ctrl + A to select all the text, then press Ctrl-C to copy the text to the Windows Clipboard.

    Click Start, run, and then in the box, type:

    notebook

    Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

    Press Ctrl + V to paste the information that you copied into the Windows Clipboard in the Notepad file.  Save the new notebook
    file on your desktop and the name of the new file something he can hold, as:

    startmenuhelp.reg

    Quit Notepad and double click the file startmenuhelp.reg on your desktop and answer Yes to
    the query about adding information to your registry.

    Test your help and your support now, then restart and test again to make sure that the changes 'stick' with a reboot.

    You can delete the file startmenuhelp.reg to your desktop.

    If that does not do it, we just reinstalled the whole shebang (help) and Support.

  • Windows Mail - file type by default for saved messages

    I win many messages from Windows Mail, and I want to save them with the same type of file they were sent with.  It's very exhausting to have to change the file type for the type of original file of the default '.eml' every time I save a message.  Is there a way to stop the program in default value of '.eml '?

    Thank you.

    I don't think that it is possible to change the default file type in the drop-down list. Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

  • After update on Windpws 8.1, applications and desktop windows files are gone

    After using windows 8 for some time and just become familiar with my lap top has started promoting update me windows 8.1 I did. He got to halfway through the update failed.  A pop up message that my computer will reboot when it has finally done I had to create a new user as egone account all the tverything that was on my computer is now disappeared from windows desktop is Islands and apps are word disappeared from windows of the program excel outlook ECt are all deleted.  I first tried to contact microsoft last night 9/12 14 after a long time on hold I got to a telephone switchboard finally after an hour to be spent on I got to a person called Sheena p who accessed my computer remotely to fix the problem after that several attempts to try to untangle the issues it has had problems as it were quite well refused to listen to what I explained.

    He decides so after hour or more that this too is a problem for him and I need help of level 2 and it would organize a call back for today 10/12/14.  Soon after the end of the call, I received another call from microsoft, explaining that the Office of the United Kingdom farm at 7 and I would like to be contacted at 18:00.  After leaving work earlier to be home to this call and in the meantime and until it became obvious that no one was going to get in touch.

    So I contacted once again microsoft got passed from one person to another, so that all operators attempted to pass the problem on to another Department, eventually after about 45 minutes, it is call that I am someone in the phillapines that even once, pretty much couldn't or wouldn't understand the problem told me it could not be anything else other than a virus no matter how much times I explained the problem that she seemed unable to depart from it on the screen guests as she just constantly repeated the same vein times she said microsoft is paying and that she would not do anything until I paid $ 99, I think that it is and violates since I had already spent enough money buy microsoft software that has now been removed and a microsoft program.  Then she just transferred back me to the very first options menu so I wasn't on hold or in any that just left to start all over again. I finished the call to seek an alternative.

    can someone sign affect me? I have a laptop restored to factory settings, no files, folders, pictures or software because I have updated windows 8 from their guest.

    Thanks in advance

    It would be impossible for the .old and the user folder to disappear, unless someone went to PC settings and clicked on the "Reset PC" option.  Other than that, the only way for those missing is to be booted from a CD or USB and do a new installation instead of the update to the App Store.

    Regardless of how, however, at this stage there is no much I can suggest.  Install your favourite again and get your files from OneDrive or backup everything you use.

  • Desktop icons and desktop do not work. (Nothing happens when right clicking Google desktop for office properties, or by clicking on an icon on the desktop).

    My office does not work.  When I right click on the desktop to launch desktop properties, nothing happens.  In addition, trash and my other desktop files are also unresponsive.  However, I see the desktop correctly.

    I did a virus/malware scan using Norton Security Suite and Malwarebytes, and no viruses/malware were found.  I also have several reboots, run the check disk and deleted the cookies/cache.  How can I solve this?

    Before being able to solve problems, I ended up receiving an error message from Windows Explorer.  I checked the possibility of a solution and restart the Explorer.  Fortunately, this seemed to solve the problem.  I'll wait to see if this is a permanent or temporary solution.  Either by the way, thank you very much for your help!

  • try to install a game. directions to state that if the game does not automatically install for a right click on the cd/dvd driver icon and select "Explore" find file "default.hta.

    HE did exactly as the instructions said.  Double-click the file to launch the game.  is not the case.  I get a box that appears and indicates that windows closes the file because it has ceased to work with an error.

    any body can help me.  I have windows vista 32-bit.  a solution was to lower the load and to buy the program DriverCure.  Well I don't really have extra money right now.  is there another solution to this problem so that I can play my game.

    No, it's not the same game as the PSX one. It's an arcade of Oberon Media (shareware, available athttp://gamecenter.oberon-media.com/game.htm?code=111274487&RefId=&origin=pcat_gm_d). The version that you contains no *.hta file and play very well if you do not use "launcher.exe" of the game (which has a script, leading to an infinite loop error), but the 'treasures of the Deep.exe' instead. Any necessary compatibility setting. "192GO should be enough for everyone." (of the miniseries "Next generation jokes")

  • The HTML - output folder Option and the path of file name change question

    In the HTML Options to file and output file name I was wondering if I can change the name of the .chm automatically listed when I click on properties?

    For example, when I click on properties for ABC_v456, which is a SSL in the project ABC123, I see "C:\Projects\ABC_v123\!" SSL!\Help_v456\ABC123.chm' in the output folder and file name field.  I would rename ABC123.chm in ABC456.chm for the love of light. When I compile it will then create a file .chm by ABC456.chm name rather than the name of the ABC123.chm file? I would have then two SSL in the HTML project called Help_v123 and Help_v456each and their respective .chm would be within each folder.  I speak of the sense or is this clarification requiring gibberish on my part? I use Robohelp HTML v7.

    Hi karima

    You should be able to freely appoint the CHM everything that makes sense for you in the field.

    I remember that too, you are perhaps involved in the development of CSH. If the name of the file could play an important role in that. But even after you generate the help, you should be able to rename it if you wish.

    See you soon... Rick
