Hello,
I am running XP Pro (new) and a lot of my files from a data transfer
from my old machine (98SE) are showing up with the wrong associated program
icons preceding them.
Mostly Illustrator files have either Excel , Word, and some bizarre program
icons in front of the file name. If I R click into properties and click
through the tabs it will change them back to the correct icons, but only
temporarily, until I re-boot.
Any clue as to why and how to fix permanently?
Thx, Mitchell
 
Try to re associate the file types with the right programs in Folder Options
in Control Panel.
