HTML File Icon Not Displaying

[Guest]

I have a brand new Dell 9150 - XP Home, Service Pack 2 - and I cannot get the
icons to display for .htm or .html file types. All other file types are
displaying their correct icons. I have tried & retried to change it using the
Folder Options/File Type app in the Control Panel. I downloaded & ran the
TweakUI - no changes. It is *really* bugging me when I open up folders with
lots of HTML files and instead of the "e' icons, it just shows the "broken"
icon. I do web-dev, but I am not too educated on the systems side of the
computer. Any help or suggestions? Thanks!!!

Hi.

Read this article by MVP Ramesh Srinivasan:

Incorrect or generic Windows icon displayed for HTM, HTML and MHT files

[Guest]

Thanks for replying. I had read that too and tried it. Did not work.

Open Start, Run, type without quotation marks 'regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll' and click OK. See if HTML files have recovered their right icon.

Sporty,

If that does not help, post the file association report for .HTM files. I'll
do a comparison here.

When I type ' regsvr32 /i shdocvw.ll ' I get this error message:
LoadLibrary("shdocvw.ll")failed - The specified module could not be found.

What did Dell say when you asked them about the problem with your brand
new PC?

Oh, don't get me started. I tried to call them and was on hold for about a
half-hour and just hung up. I orded the "Aloha-Bob" program & USB wire to
transfer everything from my old Dell to my new Dell. It worked great except
for my email programs - I could not get email on either computer after the
transfer - and I had to do system restores on both and do it all by USB
Flash. I ended up doing about 5-6 system restores onmy new computer b/c
things just kept happening. It was a nightmare. I am pretty PC literate, but
am not a system person, so for anyone else (like everyone answering on this
board) it prob would have been a piece of cake. I was very close to just
chucking the new one out the window. It realy should not be so damn hard.

If nothing works from the suggestions/help I am getting I guess I will
suffer the wait & call Dell.
