Textpad icon missing from Windows Explorer

[gjrg]

After updating to TextPad 5.0x, the TextPad icon no longer shows up in Windows Explorer for files I've associated with TextPad.

Double-click opens them fine, so the association itself seems to be working.

Any ideas?

I am seeing this on my system 2

Hi

Since writing this, I found the answer. It seems to be caused by TP 5 loading into a different folder to TP 4.

In Windows Explorer:

• Tools > Folder Options...
  Select the File Types tab
  Find and highlight the TXT file type
  Click the Advanced button
  Click the Change Icon... button on the next window
  Browse to the correct location of TextPad.exe
  This should show you available icons stored in the .exe file
  Select one and click OK

Repeat for any other file types that have lost their icon.

Worked for me!
