Opera.HTML Default Icon messed up
I think this is a "classic bug": windows explorer not showing correct icon for Opera associated file types (only blank unknown file types)My browser is the lattest 11.52.1100.. i already make Opera my "Default" browser, trying editing registries HKLM classes, icon cache, CLSID 420422.., control panel.. anything without results.. still showing blank icons
The irony is if i change default browser to IE9 and Firefox 8; the icons change to the corresponding browser without problems.
My OS is Windows 7 32bit.
my questions is.. why?
Bug in Microsoft Office's Icon Handler that it registers for .html files.
Open regedit (you may need to open it as an administrator, on Windows 7 the easiest way to do that is type 'regedit' in to the Start Menu search bar and hold ctrl+shift while pressing enter.)
Find this key:
You may need to periodically reapply this fix.
Opera can fix it (bug DSK-345045) by registering their icons without the quotes — that way when Office copies the value it's in a way that the icon handler can understand. But if the Windows shell can understand the path with or without quotes the icon handler should behave in the same way.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{42042206-2D85-11D3-8CFF-005004838597}\Old Icon\Opera.HTML\DefaultIconthe default value will probably be reading as:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\Opera.exe",1Change it to read:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\Opera.exe,1(64-bit users will also need to edit a similar key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\…)
