hi
My girlfriend downloaded a free translation software on my Windows 2000
Server computer. At one point, she clicked on a file that didn't have any
programs associated with it and she chose to open it with Microsoft Word
when prompted in the Open With dialog box. Now, as a result, more than half
of the icons in the Administrative Tools folder have the MS Word icon. I
find that quite annoying and I don't want to spend hours on it. I deleted
the program and I believe all its associated files. Does anybody know how to
get back to the normal icons?
Thanks a lot for any help.
