Changing icons with file association

Hey guys, just a quick question.

I want to change the icons on certain file types in Explorer.

I have it set to the correct program to open the files, but I want to change the icon that is associated with it.

I thought it might be doable somewhere under program defaults, but its not - it just lets me change the file associations.

Can anyone help?

You cannot change the icons of certain file types by default in Vista.
However you can do it with extra software installed.
I use Icon Packager which ads an extra Icon tab to the Properties window of
each file type. Unfortunately this program is not freeware but affordable.
Visit stardock.com. It's a part of their Object Desktop customization suite.
