==================
Not understanding your description of the problem.
Perhaps this is what you're looking for: Internet Options> Programs an
select to have IE check that it is the default browser. This will reset th
associations for file extensions related to web documents, URLs etc. Afte
using this, .HTM, .HTML, .URL and other web items will show the IE ico
again. There is a "Reset Web Settings" button on this page that might b
helpful too
Use Internet Options> Programs to set your default HTML editor. The progra
selected here is what will be used if you use "view source" on a web page
Notepad will work for this task.

Hi Sharo
Well I've tried what you told me to do, But.
that didn't change The Icon's type and color nor didn't set my default HTML editor to what it was before
I understand that doing so should reset my HTML editor to original file associated to open with which is Internet Explore
the (e) Icon.. but it's not doing it !! I don't know why. maybe it's because of this
I looked in Folder Options under File Types to see what is the the file associated with to open HTML and HTM
They both are associated to open with Internet Explorer and to edit with note pad,, BUT their Icon Types in that list under
File Types not same as The e Icon of Internet Explorer !! and when I go to advanced to look at and to change their
Icons .. I found that their Icons same as Internet explorer e icon !! All what I want is to change All My HTML Icons
back to their original state which was the Internet Explorer e Icon .. But Now all my HTMLs (which are many that
I have and I use to create and Edit some webs ) They all have now some white plan file Icon Type and I dont know
how to reset it bac
Thanks anywa
Please Keep trying to help me out with thi

Somebody might come up with a better answer than this.....
Open a folder (My Documents will do
Click on Tools, Folder Option
Click on the File Types ta
Scroll down the Registered file types until you get to HTM and HTML (I'
assuming it's one of those that's changed but there are some at the top wit
the same icon as well as URL near the bottom
Select it and Click Advance
Click on Change Ico
On my computer I see 23 icons including the blue E on white (which i
selected
In the Look for icons in this file: box it says C:\Program Files\Interne
Explorer\iexplore.ex
If you can't see the icon you want click on Browse and look for this file
Select the icon it and click OK

hi Stephe
That is exactly what I've been doing But its not helping much to change The Icons.. !! It shows that Icons have
changed to Internet Explorer (e) icon but that is not happening.. I mean all info in Folder Options/File Types/Advanced
are correct. but I don't know what should I look for under Edit in advanced..
File Associated to open with is coorect and the Icon is e icon
Details of HTML extentions are coorect : Open with Internet Explorer and the icon is e !! all that is correct
What is not correct is That: HTML and HTM icons under: Registered Type Files are not as Internet Explorer e Icons !!
even when I go and I change Icon , those HTML and HTM icons under: Registered Type Files are not changing They
are all the time White Plain file type same as all my HTMLs document Files.. and I couldn't change them back I dont know why.
The Only File Type That Has Internet Explorer ( e ) Icon under Registered Type Files List is: ONLY ONE FILE TYPE which is: URL file .......... strange
Thanks anyway

.........I think this is beyond me then as I can change my icons easily by
doing what I said.
......having said that I never clicked on Edit after clicking on Advanced.
.......after clicking on Advanced I get a window with
Edit File Type
"Blue E" HTML Document Change Icon
Actions
Edit
Open (in bold)
Print
Open in Same Window
printto
the Change Icon button opens another window.......
Change Icon
Look for icons in this file:
Files\internet Explorer\iexplore.exe Browse
Select an icon from the list below
where there are 23 icons, blue E top left (the desktop icon) and below that
blue E on white paper (the one you want?) which is highlighted. There is no
plain white file type.
I'm sure one of the more knowledgeable will help soon - I've only had XP for
a week.

==========================
Have you restarted the computer since making those changes? Did you restart
the IE browser? When you do this, a prompt will appear asking "do you want
IE to be the default browser?" Say yes.
As last resort, you could repair Internet Explorer. The article explaining
how to do this in XP can be found at the URL below:

Hi Kelly
I've already tried that so many times,, You should read from the start to understand what I mean.
all my HTML and HTM are associated with Internet Explorer, and they could be open with Internet Explorer
and They could be edited with Notepad . I have no Problem with all of that..
My Problem is that even If I Locate an .html file that is not showing the proper icon, and I right click and
select Open/Choose Program. and I Browse to the C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer folder and select the file iexplore.exe and click Open and then on
the Open With screen, click OK. ////////// Doing all that doesnot change back any HTML ICON that I've got
to what it was before .. which was Intrnet Explorer Icon the white and blue e !!! I've tried so many tricks and ways
to change back the HTML and HTM Icons to their previous state i e: Internet Explorer e Icon.. but no matter
what I do they remain the way they are.
What is not correct here is That: My HTML and HTM icons under: Registered Type Files are not and do
not have the Internet Explorer e Icons any longer (as They Used to) !!
Even when I go and I change their Icons , Under Registered Type Files, They are not changing,, They are all
the time White Plain file type same as all my HTMLs document Files.. and I couldn't change them back I dont
know why.
The Only File Type That Has Internet Explorer ( e ) Icon under Registered Type Files List is: (ONLY ONE FILE TYPE)
which is: URL file ...Strange. I used to have 20 or more Files Under Registered Type Files with the e icons..
Now I only have one that is: URL file !!!
Thanks for trying

Lina,
Is really hard to keep all of your information in focus without it being
attached to the original thread.
This happens at times and when so, if you right click and read properties,
it clearly reads that this is not a valid shortcut.
Good luck!
