Word 2013 -- generic icon for docx

Hope this doesn't sound as ridiculous as I think it does ...

Found several locations for wordicon.exe in the registry.  One pic attached.

Then searched for wordicon.exe under C:\Windows and found it listed under C:\Windows\Installer.  Pic attached.  But note that C:\Windows\Installer isn't shown in Windows Explorer list.  So the file is there but it isn't there.

Lost for words.

Here's the Explorer list under Windows.  No 'Installer' listed.

This Freeware utility 'Types' enables me to change icons, including the icon for Word files.

Here's the link http://izt.name/apps/types/

It worked.

Shane:
Glad you got it working :-)

The reason why it wasnt working was because the regkey was pointing to the wrong folder.

Look at the regkey you posted here

You will see it doesnt match the path where the icon exe was. :wink:

The Types 'solution' is a bandaid.  I like your real solution.

I 'assume' I can manually change the registry key and point it to where wordicon.exe really is?  Fixes being rarely simple, just want to verify.  Thanks.
