DWG Icons

[anderson51]

Question:

I went to open a group of autocad files thru explorer and mistakenly selected "Publish DWF" instead of "open". For reasons unknown, doing this changed my default program to DWG Launcher and also changed how the Autocad icons look in explorer. (They turned from blue and yellow, to red and white) I figured out how to change my default program back to AutoCAD, but any idea how to change the icons back?

Thanks,

For me, in Win7 64bit, leaving DWG LAUNCHER as the application to open DWG files then actively starting the AutoCAD version I want to use also resets the icons.

Are you using SENDTO TOYS freeware in Windows Explorer? I use it to direct my files to the correct applications with a right-click that I want to use at the time, it avoids a lot of issues for me like yours.

There are many freeware for WIndows out there that reset icons if you want to try that option, I've used one called TYPES in the past.
