Thanks a lot for reply.
I was hopeless and was about to format my computer.
I thought that this had happened due to some virus.

But yet there is a problem. The file opens but default icon has not been displayed.

If one or more of your icons are not displaying correctly, or that your icon cache is corrupted, then you might consider rebuilding the icon cache to reset and reload the icon images into the icon cache.

Since your problem occurred so recently, why don't you first do a System Restore? That will probably correct the corruption, but if it doesn't, you can still rebuild your icon cache and try other attempts at correction.

Wow it worked. Thanks a lot. Instead of asking user to download .REG file individually and installing it, why dont you make a separate program to fix all these related problems.
Or if you are member of micorsoft windows you can also make it one of the routines of O/S

Any way thanks
