Next time you think you have a file type with no extension:
Right click the file.

General tab
Look atMS-DOS name:


This issue seems to be a hot button with no solutionyet.


Folder Options has already been mentioned.

Hello Peter,

A short history here might help locate the problem since I have the same 
icon display on my Win XP Pro.
My HTML document icons were all the same (SeaMonkey) until I tried the 
former IE7 Beta release for testing display compatibility.  As soon as I 
installed and opened the IE7 Beta all the HTML type document icons 
changed to the IE icon.


Performing the steps you described should have corrected the problem, 
but IE still had icon control.
Using Windows Explorer from the root folder (C:\ ), and selecting Folder 
Options and File Types allowed me to change the icons for all HTML 
document types (HTM, HTML, SHTML, etc.), but the only icon that really 
changed in Windows Explorer was the .SHTML file type.


This is not a big problem for me because I compose HTML documents as 
both HTML and SHTML for web servers and this quirk makes it real easy to 
sort and identify file types in a Windows Explorer type display.


It seems the problem originated with IE7 and is embedded into the 
Windows Registry somewhere and that can be hazardous to correct.

folder options was going to be my next advice


Starting at the menu bar on My Computer, I went to [Tools > Folder
Options] and selected the File Types tab.  On the Folder Options window,
I selected the Internet Shortcut entry and then the Advanced button.  On
the Edit File Type window, I selected the Change Button (which was
indeed active).  That allowed me to navigate to the SeaMonkey executable
 (seamonkey.exe), in which the icon is embedded.


I was able to use that method - on one at a time. Thanks.


What do you mean "on one at a time"? This applies to all internet
shortcuts on the system.


Only one of 4 changed!  Tried it again, same thing. ???
