Today I found out that the HTML Document icon on my desktop has changed radically to what it is posted below:
 What makes it more strange is that when I double clicked on them, it opened in Internet Explorer, the question is why doesn't the HTML Document icon use the Internet Explorer icon like it has and is always be. Does anyone know how this happened? And does anyone know how to handle this problem? Please answer my question asap... I really need your help guys.... Thank you. |

What are you trying to do? Do you want to be able to edit the document? if so, right click > open with > choose program
Or what? |

Tools -> Folder options (?) something like that -> File types (again, not sure about the name).
You should have a big list of all file extensions your windows recognise. Scroll until you find HTML, click on edit. And there you should be able to change the icon to anything you want. I'm not sure where the standard HTML icon lives, but your best bet is probably IE.exe I hope this helps

Before saying any further, i want to say thank you for all your help.
But I still cannot fix this problem whatsoever.  To Cragllo: No, I just want to restore the icon for my HTML document. Despite the strange look on my HTML icon, I still able to open it in IE. To bjrn: I've tried your great idea, I changed icon for HTML in the file types, however, it still won't change... To xboxrulz: First, opening saved HTML file using IE is faster than using firefox. Though firefox is better for browsing... Second, no matter what program that I've set to open the HTML document, the icon still looks the same. This is my main problem: My icon for HTML document cannot be restored or even changed to another icons...if anyone has the solution, I will be greatly greatful... Thank you again for all your helps.... |

QUOTE What makes it more strange is that when I double clicked on them, it opened in Internet Explorer, the question is why doesn't the HTML Document icon use the Internet Explorer icon like it has and is always be. since refer to icon,the problem came from system cache,Generally speaking, are all because of icon cache of the system, you can settle the question through the register edit tools,if you knew how to modify the regedit.which could deal with your problem... |

open a folder,
click Tools-->Folder options, click "File Types" Tab, scroll down to find Html, select it, there should be a "Restore" button around the bottom, click it and it should be fine now. Hope it can help. |
