Windows 10: Missing Icon

I have a program called IDE.exe.

It uses the drawing board icon.



It creates a project file with the extension .prj.

The project uses the hammer icon.



IDE.exe is there with the proper icon.



But the .prj file shows white square (no icon).

When I go to Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program. There isn't any .prj extension on the list.

How can I add it?

N8 and several software icons missing - not a reboot issue

Hi,

On my N8 several software icons are missing and reboot of the device will not help on this. This issue started after the first Anna update. Some icons that are missing are old SW installations before Anna update, but also some of the new software installations
are missing icons too. Some random icons are missing from main view and software menu too. To move the icon from one location/folder to other will not help to get icon(s) back. To start the target SW by pointing an empty icon works. Scrolling a long view on
having several icons + missing icons was very slow and after I moved all missing icons to separate view/folder scrolling the main SW view is now ok but missing icons dilemma is not solved. Attached image is from the folder to where is moved all missing icons.
Damn, I don´t wan't to reset the device.

ICON for battery life

Hello,

Also check the registry fix for missing system icons:

Let us know if this helps!

 

File Types (Windows)

Go to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
in the registry.

This free program (or similar) may help:




I've no idea what your program is, I'm afraid, so can't help further.

 

Default Programs Editor (free).

1st search result for me

 

You can also maybe try going to: Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations

Press the Change Program button for .prj files and select that program. If it didn't work, select the .prj files to open with any other random program, then reselect the .prj files to open with your program again. Hopefully that could reset the icon.

 

@dalchina:
Default Programs Editor appears to be pretty ancient: circa 2009/2010. As far as I can tell, the original developer site is inaccessible. It seems to be available via usual outlets such as CNET and SoftPedia (but not MajorGeeks, curiously). Is that the right program? If so, looks like SoftPedia has the latest version...
HTH,

Hi Ed, I did say 'may help'. Standards around that area tend to remain pretty constant for legacy purposes I guess.

Feel free to suggest a more current program that allows creation of a file type.

Oh, just remembered, good old Nir Sofer - there's this one:



FileTypesMan: View, edit file extensions and types in Windows

 

@dalchina: great suggestion! I'm also fooling around with your original suggestion of Default Programs Editor.Despite its vintage, works just fine with Windows 10 up to and including IP 15031. Didn't mean to sound negative about your selection (the DriverStoreExplorer tool, v 0.5 is about the same age, BTW, and still works fine, too), just interested. Nir Sofer's stuff is, however, well-maintained and always pretty useful, so that's an excellent alternative. Just fired it up from NirLauncher, and it's a pip, too.
Thanks!
