I'm a new at the web design and I'm not sure if I've done right thing while saving my icon as svg file. Here's the thing - I got an outline icon and when I save it as svg with options shown in attached file, the icon of the file on my desktop is shown as a blank paper with folded edge and no program can open it. When previewing the svg file in the browsers everything looks great. I'm concerd why does it's icon on the my desktop doesn't look as every other svg file...Will my svg file work anyway?

Thanks in the advance!

Thumbnail preview in Windows Explorer is not supported for SVG files. To be able to get a preview we can install a shell extension, e.g. the SVG Explorer Extension (courtesy of this post on SU).

To open an SVG per default (on mouse click) with Illustrator you have to define Illustrator in the "Open with.." field on right click Preferences menu of any SVG file. Dont forget to tick the bottom box to always allow opening this file type with Illustrator.
