How can I restore my Office icons?

M

Michael Curry

The Shortcuts still exist, but the icon pictures have been replaced by the
default (windows) 'application' icon. I have tried office repair, but I
cannot run setup as required .msp files do not exist (relaited to Office 2003
SP1 upgrade). Searching KB has returned nothing on either issues. Help anyone?

What if you'd recreate the shortcuts to the .EXE files? right click in
Explorer at the c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\programs and
right-click, select new, shortcut. Point them to c:\program files\microsoft
office\office11\winword.exe excel.exe and apperently so on.

Yes but that is a lot of effort just to get some pretty icons back. I guess
my question should have been how to repair office without the .msp files it
wants... :S

You can not, so put the disc inand point to that. Though pointing windows
to the folder would be quicker in my eye. as Its a windows problem
