icons changing

Ginnie

Hi,
I have Office 97 - and just in the past week, the icons
for the file names have changed if listed in anyother
folder except excel. Run a virus program all of the time,
the file still opens to what it should be, but just the
icon is so far off - for instance - one icon went from the
excel to a golf program I have.
Thanks for any help.

Open Windows Explorer.

Select an Excel file (*.xls) with a non-Excel Icon.

Hold SHIFT key and right-click on the file and "Open With"

Select Excel and "always use etc."

Then View>Refresh

If this doesn't do the trick.......

In Win Explorer go to Tools>Folder Options>File Types.

Scroll down to "XLS". If Icon not what you want, select "Advanced" and
"Change Icon"

Apply and OK your way out.
