Looks like the OS can't find a default program associated with the file type.

In windows 7, click start -> default programs -> Associate a file type or protocol with a program.

Then just link the .doc files (or whatever) with MS Word and the icons should now show the MS Word icon as the file is associated with that program.

In Windows 8/10, the exact steps might not be the same but you will still have to set a default program to handle .doc files
