Dumb suggestion, does setting:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMP11.AssocFile.WMV\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Windows\\system32\\wmploc.dll,-736#test"
change things?

It should be impossible for that to be "VLC.wmv" if you ran the Set
Program
Access and Defaults command. Could you please go do that again? You may
have used "Set User Defaults"? That's a different command. Running the
Set
Program Access and Defaults reassociation tool will cause .wmv's default
value to change back to the WMP value unless VLC is being random or evil.

Sorry about that, I spent 10 minutes copying down the wrong section, do
you
need all of the details, or just this, it's almost identical?
.wmv
(Default) REG_SZ VLC.wmv
Content Type REG_SZ video/x-ms-wmv
Perceived Type REG_SZ video
VLC.backup REG_SZ WMP11.AssocFile.WMV

There are a couple of sub folders from this, but they're a bit long to
copy

No, I'm sorry, that still hasn't done it, the cmd did nothing, and
in
the
registry, it was already set like you suggested it be, I changed
it
anyway,
but it still didn't restore the icon.

Actually, I just verified Set Program Access and Defaults should

fix
this. Or just run:
unregmp2.exe /SetWMPAsDefault
from a cmd.exe prompt opened with administrative privileges.
Or set:

I'm on Vista, and it's the Windows Media Audio/Video file icons
that
are
gone, so any wmv files just show as that default icon, they
still
open,
but
it's like the computer lost them

No, I'm afraid not, I already tried that and it didn't work,
I
Googled
for
Codecs, X Codec Pack, Vista Codecs, etc, and I've managed to
clear
all
of
the
rubbish now, but it took my filetype icons for WMV with
it...

You may be able to go to the Set Program Access and
Defaults
control
panel,
reassociate to WMP there, and then have it work.

When I first got my computer, of course Windows Media
Player
came
with
no
Codecs, and I ended up downloading some really junky
ones,
which
I
finally
decided to take off a few days ago, they were slowing
videos
down,
speeding
them up, etc. Anyway, I've removed them, and replaced
them
with
I
think
two
from wmplugins.com, my only problem is that WMV files
that
had
their
own
icon, are just showing that funny white icon with a
screen
inside
it,
the
one
that shows when a programme or file hasn't been
associated
with
another.
I
want to reinstall Windows Media Player, or repair it's
understanding
of
this
filetype, but I can't find a way to. Is there a way to
reinstall
Windows
Media Player, and not download the older version online,
a
way to
trigger
it,
etc? Thanks guys.- Hide quoted text -
