Thanks!! I know it's pretty basic stuff, and all on one page, but finding that one page? *sigh* Maybe it's just me. But I promise you I was on that account page 30 or more times and glazed right over that "Manage" link EVERY SINGLE TIME.

For the people mentioning that it didn't work for them - I'm curious - have you actually selected WordPad or another program, then RE-SELECTED Microsoft Word? Or are you just opening the 'choose default program' menu one time and selecting Word?

If I change it to from Word, to WordPad, and BACK to Word, it works for me.

You could try something else - there are registry modifications suggested out there to resolve this issue, though none of them worked for me. You may want to try another simple thing, like rebuilding the icon cache and see if it changes the default icon it's selecting.

1. Close all windows you ahve open.
2. Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to launch Task Manager.3. Click to the Processes tab, click on Explorer.exe in the list and click End Process at the bottom (confirm you want to close it when the popup appears).
4. Now, in Task Manager, click File, then New Task.
6. Type "CMD" (without the quotes) and click OK or hit enter.
7. In the Command Prompt window, type the following commands:
cd %userprofile%\AppData\Local
del IconCache.db
explorer
exit

--Did that help?

GB is right on spot!

I naturally did 'Open with' and then 'Choose default program' before searching for an answer online, as it is the most obvious solution. Did not work... then tried all kinds of solutions including deleting icon cache through CMD,'repair'ing the Office Suite, even installing a small software to force change icons... Nothing worked.

As I was out of hope I saw GB's post and realized what I did before was to click on MS Office Word and directly go to OK, which didn't work. Then I tried to double-click on the MS Office Word, rather than single-click and OK, and voila. The key here is to DOUBLE CLICK.

So for those of you having the same problem:

1. Right-click on the file with ugly docx icon
2. Open with
3. Choose default program
4. Make sure "Always use the selected program" at the bottom is ticked.
5. Double Click on the Microsoft Office Word.

Good luck!

I just figured out what was the problem. I tried to do exactly as you wrote without any
luck. Here is what worked:
I right clicked on the Word file with the ugly icon; next, I clicked
on 'Open with' and then 'Choose default program'. Now, I didn't have to
associate it with WordPad at all. Simply, I double clicked on the MSWord -
and it worked done.

Double clicking is the most important part. For some reason, when I
clicked on MSWord once and then clicked the 'OK' button, it did not
work. You have to double click MSWord program after you click 'Choose
default program' - don't ask me why.
Did you do it the same way?

That's the exact problem I have. However, your solution does not work for me. Is there anything else I need to do?
