      I just found this:

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

          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.

                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.

                    The default is the big W

                            The one in the video looks like the Word 2010 icon.

                              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.
