I want to solve this problem (adobe illustrator 2023 or, 24 eps file saving format not original)

Hello @efficient_dusk3055,

That does not look right. Kindly try the following steps and let us know if it helps:

• Clear Icon Cache by following the steps shared in this third-party article (https://adobe.ly/3YeGLWq)

• Change Default Program: Open your Windows File Explorer and locate an EPS file. Right-click on it and select "Open with" > "Choose another app." Choose a program to open EPS files from your computer and make sure to check the box that says, "Always use this app to open .eps files." This should associate the generic icon back to EPS files.

• Change File Association: If the above step doesn't work, you can try changing the file association for EPS files. Go to "Settings" > "Apps" > "Default apps." Under "Choose default apps by file type," find .eps and make sure it's set to open with your preferred program.

• File Properties: Right-click on an EPS file and select "Properties." In the "General" tab, there's an option to "Change" the icon. Try changing it to the default icon.

• Reinstall Illustrator: If none of the above steps work, consider reinstalling Illustrator. Sometimes, file associations can get mixed up during software updates.

By following these steps, you should be able to restore the generic icon for your EPS files and differentiate them from .AI files. I hope this helps you manage your files more effectively.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
