Icon problem in open box

For a couple of days now, I've been having a weird icon problem with my HTML files.

In Windows Explorer, HTML icons are the normal "IE logo on white page".

However, in any program I use, if I want to open a HTML (or HTM) file, the icon is the "unknown" one. Same thing in the Registered File Types list.

In Folder Options/File Types, both are set to open with IE, and both point to the correct icon...

What's the catch?

Sorry, but this fix doesn't apply to my problem. I don't have a problem with icons changing randomly, I just lost the icon associated with my HTM/L files...

(I did try everything in the fix, just to be sure)

For those who would need it, here's a post that finally got my problem fixed:

Personnaly, I had to use the deletion part of the solution. Now everything works, from HTM & HTML extensions, icons in Windows Explorer, and icons in the Open dialogs of my programs.

Also, changing the icon through the Folder Options is now working.

Big thanks to whom it may concern!
