594143 2007-09-23 07:49:00 HTM and HTML files on my WinXP (SP2) laptop have recently adopted a "unknown application-type" icon (as per this image (www.imagef1.net.nz)).

Not sure what I may have installed or uninstalled that might have caused this...

I have tried going to Windows Explorer>Tools>Folder Options + File Types tab to re-link the file type icon to Opera (or IE), but it doesn't seem to want to adopt a new icon.

When I double-click files of these types, they open with Opera without hesitation, so Opera is definitely associated to the file types. Just won't show a different icon.

Any ideas??

594145 2007-09-23 11:34:00 Cheers Jen - tried each of the solutions noted.

TweakUI just reduced the colours to 16 bit.

ShellIconFix did nothing.

Changing the theme did nothing.

Had a search for the ShellIconCache to delete it, but couldn't find it...

The problem is only with this file type, no other....
