I am having the same problem. I have tried the link you have posted and still
my word docs are displaying the notepad icon. When I doube click them word
opens up normaly. It shouldn't bother me because It dosen't affect the way it
works at all. I think it's a problem in the regedit. I also think it is to do
with when I had an open source office programme on my PC.
I have even tried downloading the 2007 beta office but still the icons are
notepad.
As a follow up to that I just tried smething else. I created a word file by
doing the following. Right Click, new, Microsoft Office Word Document.
On doing that a new file appeared with the "w" word icon. The file name
however was .docx.
I tried changing the file name of one of the icons with the .doc and notepad
icon to .docx and it changed to a word icon. What does this mean? will the
docx files work on other PCs and why doesn't my computer recognise the
default .doc file name?
Thankyou
