Re: How do I change filetype icons?
By changing the program I believe it will change the icon to associate with
the executable you choose. If it doesn't the only other way I know of is to
edit the registry.
in HKCR locate the associated extension (for example looking at .CAB you'll
see it references WinZip if WinZip is installed). This points you to
HKCR/WinZip (in my example). Within that entry you'll see an entry for
"DefaultIcon" with a string entry of (Default) which points to the
executable or DLL and the icon image within that executable and dll (for
example c:\progra~1\winzip\winzip32.exe,2)
