Tip: It is risky to modify the registry. Proceed with caution.

I don't know what's going on. In my computer, all the word document icons cannot be displayed normally and cannot be opened. How can I fix them?

Of course it can be fixed. Take Word 2007 and Word 2010 as examples. Open the registry editor and find and delete the following three key values:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT //. docx

KEY_CLASSES_ROOT // Word. Document.12

HKEY_CURRENT_USER // Software // Microsoft // Windows // CurrentVersion // Explorer // FileExts //. docx

Delete the preceding key values and find the Microsoft Office installer. After running the command, select "change" & rarr; "repair". Then, follow the prompts to complete the repair step by step. Then, restart the computer to make the change take effect.
