incorrect icon displayed for .htm and .html

[alex]

Most (but not all) of my .htm .html files no longer show
the Internet explorer document icon. Instead they have
the generic windows document icon. I have tried to change
this in the file explorer options, but it simply won't
catch.
I mentioned that some icons are correct. I can't find a
pattern that would indicate date or access rights having
anything to do with this.

I am running:
W2K Professional SP4
Internet Explorer 6.0.2880

Thanks

Hi Alex,

When you delete temporary files in I.E. or run
SpyBot, the .ico files are lost until you save a
favorite again; then it will save the icons again.
