Re: No "W" icon for Word Documents

Thankyou. It worked just fine. Could not find the installer file so I put it
in system32. Thanks for hanging in there with me. FYI - Looked in Help\About
Word. Found "Office Word 2003 (11.6568.6568) SP2". Very strange, but it works
perfectly now.

I have posted the Office 2003 file here:

The above file goes in:

C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{90110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9}

I am logging off for now but I will be online later today to see the
progress of this problem unless it has been resolved by somebody else.

I will post the file for Office 2003 in about 5 minutes so stay awake!!.

In the meantime could you check on this path:

C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{90110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9}

Yes. Am using 2003. Cannot find the installer folder. Have allowed hidden
folders. Have installed on another computer and it works just fine. Just
cannot see the installer folder.

whether you are using Office 2003 or Office XP?

Have you tried using Windows Explorere to find the file here (using your
number:

c:\windows\installer\{90280409-6000-11d3-8cfe-0050048383c9}

Just copy and paste the above path in Explorer and see what is in
there. The folder is normally hidden so you may need to unhide it
first.

OK try this last solution from me:

1) Launch Windows Explorer
2) Tools, Folder Options, File Types
3) Scroll down and find DOC
4) Click once on it and then click on Advanced button
5) Change Icon from this tab

If this works then you also need to change the icon for DOT (Word
document Templates) Files.

WimWord has the correct icon. All the shortcuts in the start menu have the
correct icon. Only the word documents dont have it.

Can you check whether the Winword.exe file has any icon attached to it.
The file is located here:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11

The file should be 8th from the bottom.

Well in that case just try Detect and Repair from Word application.

Wait until this finishes copying all the missing files.
