No Document Icon for File with Document Filename Extension (101652)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q101652 SYMPTOMS
In a directory window in File Manager, a file does not have the
correct icon that indicates it is a document even though it has a
filename extension that corresponds to a document.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Registry includes a four-letter
filename extension in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT subtree. Due to a bug in File
Manager, it stops searching after it processes a four-letter (or
longer) filename extension.
RESOLUTION
In the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT subtree, remove any four-letter (or longer)
filename extensions.
CAUTION: Filename extensions are always prefixed with a period (.).
Key names not prefixed with a period are not file extensions; do
not delete them.
