All of a sudden all my Office (and a few others like Acrobat) file icons are
missing. For example, in a Microsoft AWord Document, the icon displays as
the "default" icon, as if it has no association, yet when I double click on
it, it opens in Word with no problems. Suggestions?

If you have your Microsoft Office installation, simply re-run setup and do a
repair installation.

I have read people trying this but it has never worked. This is why I'm
reluctant to try it..

Vista does not use the "file Type" option in the Folder Options.
