Not understanding your description of the problem.

Perhaps this is what you're looking for: Internet Options> Programs an
select to have IE check that it is the default browser. This will reset th
associations for file extensions related to web documents, URLs etc. Afte
using this, .HTM, .HTML, .URL and other web items will show the IE ico
again. There is a "Reset Web Settings" button on this page that might b
helpful too

Use Internet Options> Programs to set your default HTML editor. The progra
selected here is what will be used if you use "view source" on a web page
Notepad will work for this task.

Hi Sharo
Well I've tried what you told me to do, But.
that didn't change The Icon's type and color nor didn't set my default HTML editor to what it was before
I understand that doing so should reset my HTML editor to original file associated to open with which is Internet Explore
the (e) Icon.. but it's not doing it !! I don't know why. maybe it's because of this
I looked in Folder Options under File Types to see what is the the file associated with to open HTML and HTM
They both are associated to open with Internet Explorer and to edit with note pad,, BUT their Icon Types in that list under
File Types not same as The e Icon of Internet Explorer !! and when I go to advanced to look at and to change their
Icons .. I found that their Icons same as Internet explorer e icon !! All what I want is to change All My HTML Icons
back to their original state which was the Internet Explorer e Icon .. But Now all my HTMLs (which are many that
I have and I use to create and Edit some webs ) They all have now some white plan file Icon Type and I dont know
how to reset it bac

Somebody might come up with a better answer than this.....

Open a folder (My Documents will do
Click on Tools, Folder Option
Click on the File Types ta
Scroll down the Registered file types until you get to HTM and HTML (I'
assuming it's one of those that's changed but there are some at the top wit
the same icon as well as URL near the bottom
Select it and Click Advance
Click on Change Icon

On my computer I see 23 icons including the blue E on white (which is
selected)

In the Look for icons in this file: box it says C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\iexplore.exe

If you can't see the icon you want click on Browse and look for this file.

Select the icon it and click OK.

hi Stephen
That is exactly what I've been doing But its not helping much to change The Icons.. !! It shows that Icons have
changed to Internet Explorer (e) icon but that is not happening.. I mean all info in Folder Options/File Types/Advanced
are correct. but I don't know what should I look for under Edit in advanced..
File Associated to open with is coorect and the Icon is e icon
Details of HTML extentions are coorect : Open with Internet Explorer and the icon is e !! all that is correct
What is not correct is That: HTML and HTM icons under: Registered Type Files are not as Internet Explorer e Icons !!
even when I go and I change Icon , those HTML and HTM icons under: Registered Type Files are not changing They
are all the time White Plain file type same as all my HTMLs document Files.. and I couldn't change them back I dont know why.
The Only File Type That Has Internet Explorer ( e ) Icon under Registered Type Files List is: ONLY ONE FILE TYPE which is: URL file .......... strange
Thanks anyway

It's right where you left it on 3-29. (right between your other two
"blinking and shaking" and x tab button) There are several responses.

Perhaps you need to adjust your News rearders settings to allow it to show?

Hi, Buddhist.

Perhaps you need to adjust your News rearders settings to allow it to

show?

Lina's problem is that she (he?) is not using a news reader. :>(

If you've never tried the "web-based interface", then you might not realize
just how frustratingly confusing it can be for an experienced newsgroup
user. Try it just once for a half-hour and you will see what I mean. Just
click here to read this xp.basics group using that interface:
http://communities2.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx

That will get you to the top menu for Discussion Groups. You'll have to
navigate from there to here, just as Lina did. Then you'll have to try to
find the previous thread. Then you'll have to figure out how to read all
the responses in the thread. And how to Reply without starting a New
thread.

To find this group, you'll need to click on: English | Windows | Windows
Client | New Users | Windows XP Basics Discussion. Don't mis-click along
the way or who knows where you might wind up. If you remember to bookmark
it when you get here, you can click here to find it next time:
http://communities2.microsoft.com/c...at=en-us-win-winclient-newusers&lang=en&cr=US

This is Microsoft's idea of how these Discussion Groups (they mean
Newsgroups, but they don't call them that) should operate. They think this
is easier for Newbies, who post a question, get an answer, and never need to
come back again. Microsoft thinks this is Wonderful! And the Wave of the
Future! No experienced newsgroup user that I know agrees. Not ranting at
you, Buddhist, but at the "Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000" web-based
interface. End of rant.

Hi, Big Mac.

No. Lina is right. At least on my newsgroup server (astraweb).

This is a different problem than Lina's. Msnews.microsoft.com is the host
server for these newsgroups. As the name suggests, it is run by Microsoft
and is open to the public; it is free and does not require you to log on.
All the newsgroups - well over 2,000 of them in many languages - are
available here, and posts generally appear within minutes (seconds?) of
their arrival. These groups can be accessed by any NNTP news server,
including Forte Agent.

Many other news servers (including astraweb, I suppose, although I'm not
familiar with that one) simply "slurp" messages from the host server and
relay the messages and responses to and from their own subscribers. These
relays, of course, often cause messages to be delayed, out of sequence, or
missing altogether.

Unless some corporate policy or other restriction stops it, try clicking
this link:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics

That one click should start Outlook Express, create a News Account for the
MS public server, Go To this XP.basics NG, and download 300 headers for you
to start reading. (I'm not sure what happens if you use a newsreader other
than OE.)

In other words, you will come right back here - but you will have "cut out
the middleman". ;<)

Lina - you are right, your original is gone.

And you will find Lina's original post(s) still here. In fact, the whole
thread is here, dated 3/29-3/30/04, including 3 Replies from Lina. In fact,
there are 4 threads started by Lina on 3/29 and 3/30/04, including this one.
;<)
