Hello.

ICO files are displayed as the unknown file type icon (white page with
Windows logo on it) in Windows Explorer. I suspect this is because I
mistakingly deleted the ICO filetype in Windows Explorer. Can someone please
tell me what registry keys I need to restore? Thanks in advance.
 
Fixed it! ^_^ The problem was in

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile]
@="Icon"
"ImageOptionFlags"=dword:00000000

The dword value was supposed to be 00000001.
 
Simple enough to do and test. Simply export your existing key and do what
he suggested. If all is well, good. If not, import the saved export.

Can you e-mail me personally to walk through. I showed the engineer your
response, but she was hesitant to modify anything in reg settings with a
little more communication for clarification (e-mail address removed)
