Windows 7 office transformed into icons Word icons

Suddenly, I saw all my desktop icons turn into Microsoft Word icons with a .lnk file extension

How can I fix this?
I tried restoring the system several times, but it does not work?
Is there a simple solution for this?

View the information on the website below:
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html

From the tutorial:
This can be useful for example when a type of file extension will open with the wrong default program, the wrong icon or is damaged or missing in the registry. Download the .reg for the selected file extension file in the tutorial below will restore this file extension to the default value for all of the above.

Let us know if that helps.

    Hello
    Your computer is probably infected by malicious software. Some malware will hide all the icons and shortcuts on your computer. To make your icons visible again, download Unhide.
     
    Once downloaded, double-click display and let it run. It removes the attribute hidden on all files and try to restore the icons on the Start Menu to their location.
    Then try following steps 1 and 2 in this virus/malware removal guide: http://www.selectrealsecurity.com/malware-removal-guide
    It contains instructions which will remove the malware more. If you have any questions, just ask me. I hope this helps you.

  • I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous

    Original title: Windows 7

    I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous, go to Web pages, I have to use the scrollbar at the bottom of page to see the other half of the page - he said could also be a driver problem, but don't know what I'm looking for - someone can help?

    Hello

    Yes, well part of the problem from the point of view of Dell is the only "acceptable" operating system for the Office of series 4600 XP. So they have no drivers 'official' for any function of Windows 7!

    But first I need more information on the video card. Try this (on the Dell site): 4600 system is supplied either with the built-in car video or a dedicated real card video.  You should know that you got.  Right-click of your mouse on the desktop, click on Properties in the next area, you see.  This will bring you into the display properties.  Now click on settings at the top right of this next area, click Next on the advance .  Now, click on the adapter on the top.  Just below the upper on this last box, you will see your listed video adapter.

    You will need this information, regardless of where you get help. My best recommendation is that you go to the community of Dell and after a question here. Someone may have already found one, but there is nothing official since the operating system is not officially supported.

    I'm sorry, there is nothing more I can do.

    Kind regards

    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.

  • Cannot open any office files or icons, the Panel even not. Help!

    Hello
    I really need help desperately. I can't open any office files or icons. I restored to the point the closest that I can, but no difference. Cannot open the Panel even from the Start button. My compuetr crashes every time I double-click or right-click on the icon 'My Computer' or 'My Documents '.
    My restore CD that was shipped with the Toshiba Satellite 1800 does not work either. Help, please! I'm really desperate!
    Jess

    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"?

    Good bye

    Hello

    Try this:

    Control Panel - device - sounds Manager - note manufacturer device name and info on the graduating model.
    Double click and get the date and version of the driver (if 06 are dates, you use the default windows driver). Now
    Click the DRIVER UPDATE (this can not find anything because MS is far behind the certification of drivers). Now LAW
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Now, go to the manufacturer of the system and recover the last pilot audio/Hi-Fi as a fall.

    Download it - SAVE - go to where you put it - RIGHT CLICK top - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT

    Now do the same for the manufacturer of the device (the one that made the device - if you were using the default windows
    you might need to look in the Device Manager - his new driver).

    Often, you will need to run the sound card drivers several times to get the latest version installed and will appear in
    Manager - Sound. This is because they make back the drivers one at a time and then finally install the
    most recent. Look in the Device Manager to be sure that you have installed the version of the driver is the one showing, if not
    run the driver again (reset each time) until the shows a correct.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Hi, when I click Start---> Windows Update or the control panel--> Windows Update, a window titled "Windows Update" opens with some icons on this subject, but no text!  I'm guessing this is an error message, but there is no text, so I have no idea what is the error message. I tried running Microsoft Fix it 50202 but nothing has changed.  I am running Windows Vista Home Edition.
