Help: html files display generic icon

(I use Windows XP Home Edition, Service Pack II)

For the past few days, in all folder views, my html files no longer display
an icon, only the generic icon as though no program was associated with them.
Yet in the folder options, file types tab, IE is the program associated with
html files. I have tried various solutions on my own, without success. My
desktop on the other hand does display html files with the correct icon.

Could this problem be related to installing Adobe's Creative Suite a week
ago? I can't remember any change in icons happening at that time, but that is
the only explanation I can think of.

Thanks for your help!
