    ive lost the IE thumbnail on some html docs, u know the icon of IE, it appears on html documents, well some of my html documents are showing the icon, instead it just shows a unknown file type icon. the html docs run fine, but i liked it when they had their original thumbnails, just looks better with it.

    Goto Tools > Folder Options > File Types.... scroll down until you see HTML & HTM document > highlight the file icon ( one at time ) > Advanced > Change Icon and where it says look for icons in this file the location should be C:\WINDOWS\system32\url.dll if not copy and paste this one and hit enter then choose the correct icon > OK > OK

    It will then change to the default Icon do this for the other HTM file as well.



    dunno if this reg hack from Doug Knox will also as well as restoring the default associations for htm/html files will create the icon link aswell

    Just to add to what Major Halo said above, help,

    There's also a fair selection of icons in shell32.dll, including an excellent "planet-e" (the MS IE logo), and there's an assortment of IE icons in iexplore.exe, as well. The File Types panel for Change Icon can explore either of those files for you and let you pick an icon from it.
