Restore Default Vista File Extension Type Associations

...

well.... I recently did a reinstall of firefix to verify some odd behavior on a website, and it fixed my html icon display, this was about two months ago.

so.. I download some fanfics as html files today.. lo and behold.. blank icons again.

I'm going to load my backup profile on windows tomorrow, to see if maybe its just profile specific... I will point out the other computer in the household is running an identical software setup, I can verify both computers are free of viruses or other malware.. I have experienced hardware failures on this machine.. is it possible its something on the harddrive that is causing this?

Hello xraiderv1,

You might check in Default Programs to see if setting Firefox is set as the default program with all of it's associations set to it.

If you wanted it with Internet Explorer, then the HTM and HTML downloads in this tutorial on the first page should sort it for you.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

ya.. it looks to be a repeat of what happened before.. to the T...

doesnt seem to be affecting anything else but it is annoying.. I should be able to verify if its profile specific or not tomorrow when I boot up.
