    Okay so i was messing around wit h some themes and i finally found some that i liked. After i applied them, all my microsoft office files i have saved, their icons changed to "generic unknown" icons. I tried changing the icon back but it would always stay the same even when i hit apply. Basically when i go to change icon, it looks for the icon in this file all the time:

    C:\Windows\Installer\{20140000-003D-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}\wordicon.exe,13

    However that file doesn't exist, and when i try to change it, it will always revert back to that file no matter what.
    This is super annoying, can anyone help?

    Edit: I just noticed that some of my word documents have the proper icon but some others don't (and are unchangeable)
