I messed up with the settings and I changed and DELETED Some Files Of The: Open With - File Assosiations/Extensions !
They Were Related to: Text Documents, mdb , html, and html /link files

Now all my files have same color icons : white and blue(like the ini file) . and all associations/extentions that i use t
open up files with are not working and they dont open files nomore!

- How can I reset the OPEN WITH Associations to its original Default ? Can i do it from The Registry? How and Where

- How Can I Change The Icon for each File type to how it was before

- What is the BEST Practice to Solve above two problems?

Thanks
Linda
