Occasionally the mini icons in front of a files of a certain file type (e.g. all *.html)
in Windows Explorer are lost. Instead an ugly dummy icon is shown.

How can I re-assign the Internet Explorer typical blue "e" mini icons to them again?

Resp. how can I don this in general for a file extension .yyy?

Hi,

You can do that by choosing 'Rebuild Icons' with Tweak UI.
(It is a very useful utility that can do a lot of other handy operations.)

You can download it at microsoft here:
