    ....mmmh, and what about removing only the generic (ugly) icon near the Open button instead of replacing it in explorer bar + pop-up menus?
    Since it's just the Open command it makes sense, as option, not to use any icon for exes...

    Hello Hexaae,

    You could substitute the Application_Icon.ico file from the download in step 1 with a transparent blank icon of your own to use instead to not have a icon display since it would be transparent. :)

    Hope this helps,

    Does anyone know if the open in the context menu should display an icon for other files to.
    For example if I right click a pdf file I get the adobe icon on the toolbar but not in the context menu.
    Is this correct.

    Hey, I want to thank you for your contribution here. You don't know how annoyed I am with that missing icon.

    I do have a couple of questions for you.

    First... is the missing icon a problem with just a rare few of us or all of windows 7 users?

    Second, can you tell me exactly how to uninstall this fix completely and revert windows back to right where it was... just because I'm terribly OCD about these things.

    Hello Respen, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Yes, the missing icon is a minor graphical bug that affects all Windows 7 installations for everyone.

    To reverse the fix, you would just need to delete the Application_Icon.ico file in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. Next, delete the Icon key in the left pane of the registry at the location in step 8.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    Is this fix compatible for x64? I think so, but due to some reasons its not working for my x64bit edition. I remember that when I used x32bit version, this fix worked perfectly.

    Take Care
