SharePoint 2010 Document Type Icon

I recently finished up a 2010 upgrade for a client whom relied heavily on using the document type icon to open their document in their document libraries. It appears that this functionality is no longer supported in 2010 (even though it explicitly says in the ViewEdit.aspx page “Title- (icon linked to document)”.

There is good news! The fine community @ CodePlex have released a solution called “DocIcon”. You can download it from the following link:

This solution should really only be a temporary fix and NOT utilized in the long-term. Hopefully MS addresses this problem, but in case they do not release a fix to this problem- I would suggest using this temporary fix until you get all of your views updated.
