generic icons after up date to 10.6My file icons (such as for Power Point, Word, Adobe products) are generic after I up dated to Snow Leopard. I have reloaded Microsoft Office and the operating system software used to update my iMac was an official copy of Snow Leopard. Does any one know how to fix the icons so that they show properly? Any help would be appreciated.

File icons in Finder Windows, I presume. That is, when you double click a folder and it opens in a window.
Go to View > Show View Options
Is "Show Icon Preview" checked or unchecked?
You could go ahead and reverse that setting to see if it changes your icons. If not, you can put it back the way it was.

Thank you!Your suggestion worked. You are brilliant. I don't understand why it worked, or if it is a symptom of some deeper problem, but my icons are as they should be. Thank you so very much.

You are correct.
I did that without the benefit of having a Mac to look at!
