| Guest | "Default programs" icons out of whack Hi folks, This afternoon I installed MS Office 2007 Ultimate (using a custom install, so that several apps are installed on first opening, and Visio Viewer is not installed). I haven't gotten around to installing SP1 yet today, and no other Office hotfixes installed yet. Until now I had been looking at DOCs with WordPad, so I opened the change default programs window, and went to "Associate a File Type with a Specific Program." Then I clicked DOC and then "Other Programs," to find Word from the list. Here's what I got: - Instead of MS Office 2007 Picture Manager, I had some kind of system check icon (yellow triangle w/ exclamation point on a monitor, and a green checkmark) - Instead of Windows Calendar's icon, I had some kind of picture manager icon -- maybe for Media Center. - Instead of Media Center's icon, I had MS Word 2007's - Instead of Word's icon, I had a power manager battery icon - Instead of MS Paint's, I had Back Up & Restore's icon What the heck? There was another icon below the scroll, but I couldn't reproduce it after I changed the doc type to Word, so I don't know what it was. I'm not concerned, since it no longer appears to be happening, but it was worth reporting. I'm going to cross-post to both microsoft.public.windows.vista.file_management and microsoft.public.office.misc. Also sent to the public Vista GUI forum. Happy holidays! a.k.a. |
