GPO forcing a default app has changed the desktop icon.
-
Find the file IconCache.db in %UserProfile%\Appdata\Local and delete it, make a backup before.

I just found this:
- Delete the existing corrupted shortcut from the desktop.
- click the Start orb and type winword.exe into the search bar.
- You should see winword.exe appear in the top of the white box.
- Right-click it and choose Send to >> Desktop (create shortcut)
- Right-click that new winword.exe desktop shortcut and Rename it "Microsoft Word 2010".

Going to have to do that machine by machine?
-
Might be best to get a machine to test on and get a look at it directly and see both what is there now and what manual process gets to a fix.

I am testing on a local win7 machine here.

Okay
-
Pretty sure it appears such as this.
It's not a Shortcut, but the actual document itself. Instead of showing as a W for Word, it just shows DOCX

Oh, I would have guessed that that was what it should have looked like.

Yep, that's what I have. This icon thing is pretty trivial in the grand scheme of things. I wonder if this customer is going to freak out when every release of Office using a different icon.
