Outlook Icons

[Kevin]

I am using Office 2000 with Windows XP Home. Outlook shows jpg attachments
in email as Adobe Photoshop ImageReady icons, although I changed the
default program that opens this file type to Windows Picture and Fax
viewer.

How can I get the icons to display correctly in Outlook?

thanks Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Type this in Start, Run dialog:

regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

If that does not help, alter the defaulticon value via Folder Options, File
Types dialog or in the registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\<ProgID>\DefaultIcon

Which is usually the following:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\DefaultIcon

Thanks Ramesh,

This only happens within Micoscoft Outlook 2000. If I click on an attached
file in Outlook, the correct program opens the file, which is Windows
Picture and Fax viewer, but the displayed icon is still for a previous
program used to open this type of file, in this case, Adobe Photoshop
ImageReady. There must be some way to reset the icons displayed in Outlook.

I tried posting this question to the Microsoft Office newsgroup, but didn't
get any useful help.

thanks! Kevin

Kevin,

I'll install OL2000 and test it for you. Meanwhile, see if this helps:
