| Can anyone help me with my problem regarding my toolbar icons and even on desktop icon like the Excel I have, no icon appear and all I see is white with its file name âfile.xlsâ as example. I have my Microsoft Office properly installed and when I double click it, it normally opens the file. I also restarted my pc many times but still no excel icon. All I want to fix is that why thereâs no excel icon. |

| I've never had this problem with program icons, but had something similar with gadgets in windows 7 - suddenly all I got was black squares. I eventually found (through Google) that I needed to delete something in the registry. I'm not sure if the two are connected, but it's worth looking into. I can't remember the details and unfortunately I don't have time to look it up, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find. |

Hi, Paul.
Did you try scanning your system for a malicious malware or spyware? Try opening your file with its default program excel then let me now after restarting.

Sounds like it has lost the association with Excel. Try opening Excel and then drag & drop the file into it. If it opens, then the problem is simply that the file association for that extension has been lost.

I doubt it: "I have my Microsoft Office properly installed and when I double click it, it normally opens the file." So the association still exists... I think?

I missed that it normally opens the file. I guess I read what I was expecting. Oops.
