Hi Mike,

Are you able to change the default icon for .mp3 files, via Folder Options > File Types dialog?

-or-

Via the registry:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mp3file\DefaultIcon

Set (default) to "C:\PROGRA~1\WINDOW~2\wmplayer.exe,-120"

-or-

For Windows XP SP1 and above:

Set WMP as the default player in Add/Remove Programs > Set Program Access and Defaults. This sets WMP as the default for most file types, and fixes the wrong icons.

Hi -  for some reason all my MP3 icons have changed into a very very old 
version -  like those in the early media players (like win95)..... looks very 
untidy in my folders !   mpeg and other sound and video extensions still look 
normal.  Still opens in media player as normal though... odd.  Anyone know 
where the options are to change the icons back?
