No answer provided by the MS experts.

Attached shows the generic icon, applied to docx files.  All other Office program files (Excel, PP, etc.) have correct icons.  Why not Word 2013 documents?

Shane:
That is going to be a regkey setting I bet. As with some of my programs I have to set the icon to use in the registry so Windows knows which icon to use.

Like on my system I have office 2007 and I have regkeys like this telling the system what icon to use

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Windows\\Installer\\{90120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}\\wordicon.exe,13"

attached pic shows same regkey on mine

would the icons for Office Word 2013 be stored someplace else?

Shane:
Yeah there is actually a bit of them in different places. Gets a little annoying lol.

But lets also make sure you have the file wordicon.exe

Since it looks like this is where it pulls the icon from.

Keep in mind my office is 2007 so make sure to check in the folder that is listed in your registry key you posted :wink:
