How do I change an icon for a specific file type extension? It's just that
..doc (which are supposed to be Microsoft Word icons) have icons like the
WordPad icon. It used to have Word icons for .doc but not anymore. Is there a
way I can change this in Windows or Word?
 
Does Word or Wordpad open when you double click a .doc file?

If WordPad, Right click a a .doc file | Properties |
General tab | Opens with: if not Microsoft Word |
Click the Change button and select Word

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Open With doesn't change icons unless the file is not registered (doc is registered by default on XP - also if Word is installed then Word will register it to itself).
