Fixed problem with the default IE7 ICON

A problem occurred while you upgraded to IE7 with Office 2003(Sp1/Sp2) installed.
All the icons for htm, html, mht and mhtml files are broken, if you tried to modify icons in "folder option", then you should get an error message: "can't find files %1". It seems to be a problem with the MSOHEV.DLL file that puts the overlay on the icons when it sees it was created with word2003 or excel2003, etc. All the icons show up as the plain IE7 icon and not the actual file icons.

To fix this, you need to add the following .reg patch files, and then click okay.

htm, download


Yes, we can change about the key of htm like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42042206-2D85-11D3-8CFF-005004838597}\Old Icon\htmlfile\DefaultIcon]@="C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe,3"

mht, download


Please note this is only for those that have IE7 installed as a default browser, although the IconHandler tweak may benefit Firefox users too.
