Failure to recognize accdb or docx files

[jacobjake]

I recently installed Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 and the ACCESS and WORD
icons for .accdb and .docx files, respectively, do not show for these files.
I can't open them directly by double clicking on the file, however I can open
them through the OPEN command within the respective application. Icons for
Office 2003 files appear OK and these files can be opened directly. I have
uninstalled and reinstalled the Office 2007 suite but the problem persists

For Windows XP open up the Windows Explorer. Go to Tools, Folder Options,
then to the File Types tab. It make take a minute or two. See if you can find
the DOCX extention. If so, make sure that it opens with Word 2007. If not
select New and manually link DOCX files to Word 2007. There are a few others
DOC files that should also be linked to Word 2007.

Next do the same for the ACCDB files and Access 2007.
