Icon symbol issue when checking “use this app for all .* files”,

Please, have a look on the screenshots which better explain my issue

I have *.loc file, and I wanted to open it once in Note Pad and then to get its symbol back to its initial state (no symbol for the file icon).

Unchecking the “use this app for all ** files” never gets the icon back to its original state!

Is there a solution to get the icon back to its initial state (no symbol)?


Thank you

Best

Jamal

hello ,I think you need to make changes in file association ,just checking the use this app for all .loc files in your second last attachment will not do it as there isn't even another app in the list, to need to re-associate to app it belongs to ,and if my Googling is correct its belongs to a GPS program ,in the second last image it shows a more options link ,if you click that do you get you gps program in the list of programs to open the file

Use option 2 from the link that caperjack gave you above. Once you unassociate the file type .loc from the list, it should default back to the blank icon.

I should have check the link I posted a little better .option 2 the download only works with win7 and Vista .option one the program ran on my win8 64bit but it looks a bit much [risky to play with ]just to make a blank icon.

I still think you should just be able to right click on it and choose to open it with the program the file belongs to .
