Hello again!!
I want to apoligize for yet another post, but I wanted to let you know I solved the problem... Finally!!! For some reason my CSS files weren't opening in the program I had set so I had to go in and fix those also and I noticed by going into the Advanced button in the File Types, I can setup a program to run the file without using the "Open With..."! In case anybody reading this is wondering how I fixed the image icons and such I was having problems with, here's how I did it: In the Folder Options - File Types, I selected the GIF extention. It was still set with my older attempts to repair the file so I clicked the "Restore" button at the bottom which changed the icon back to the original GIF icon and the Restore button changed to "Advanced". I clicked on Advanced and selected the 'open' command from the text box and clicked Edit. (If it's not there, click New). And here are my settings: Action: open Application... : rundll32.exe C:\\Windows\System\SHIMGVW.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen Check "Use DDE" DDE MEssage: [open(%1)] Application: ShellimageView DDE Application... : leave blank Topic: ViewImage Okay it and make sure the "Confirm open after Download" is checked. That fixed the icon problem! :) I also managed to delete Photo Editor from my system and fixed a few other problems the program had caused. I really appreciate the help! I probably would never have gotten this figured out if you hadn't helped with some suggestions Rupert!!
