for .xml file - icon show as folder

[Horst.Epp]

Not confirmed.
Here it's show with the document symbol as in Explorer.
Maybe you have an TC internal association with a non-standard XML tool ?

The file association must be broken, please try my registryinfo tool:

The default file type for .xml is:

What is YOUR default app for the .xml file type?

[KozakMak]

What is YOUR default app for the .xml file type?

no applications found (с)

[tuska]

What is YOUR default app for the .xml file type?

no applications found (с)

Can you assign an application to this file type?

Right-click on an .xml file:
Open with > Microsoft Edge
- OR -
Open with > Select another app > Microsoft Edge -> Click on the "Always" button *)

*) A click on the "Always" button in Windows 11 Pro recently did not have the desired effect,
i.e. the function was executed "only once".

In such a case, I would proceed as follows:
WIN+i > Apps > Default apps > in the "Enter a file type or link type" field, enter .xml >
I would then select "Microsoft Edge" as the default app for .xml files.

Can you assign an application to this file type?

yes, in case of manual association with edge, the icon changes

Does that solve the issue for you or not?

not really
the question still remains - why was the icon initially different from the explorer?

That's a really good question.
With Horst.Epp in Windows 11 Home and with me in Windows 11 Pro, the icon was present by default.

Maybe it was the setting: Showicons=? -OR- "no applications found (с)" that caused this on your PC.
Unfortunately, I can't answer that - for me, the subject is now closed.
