Re: Incorrect file association icons

I don't think there's a user setting in any of the software that I haven't
checked. Can someone please tell me which registry entries to edit so I can
fix this? Thank you.

Nope, that didn't work.

The options in Media Player has a Filetypes tab also, with a checkbox for
mp3 you can uncheck.

Wow, that was quick Mark, thanks (my first post ever). I have been all
through that dialog box and tried everything without any luck. It seems
that
Windows Media player has tied up the default icon somehow.

You simply failed to notice the "Change Icon" button. Options/FileTypes
tab,
highlight MP3, click "Advanced" button, see 'change icon' button. This
will
let you Browse for the file containing the icon you want (probably either
the app exe file, or one of it's dll's.)

I recently installed new MP3 software and want to associate MP3 type
files
with it. In Explorer I used Tools/Options/File Types to change the
association, but it did not change the icon in Explorer. I now see a
Windows
Media Player icon, although when I double click on the file it does
open
in
my new program. I am also experiencing the same problem with WAV files
and
another program. I have spent allot of time searching for an answer
online,
but assume I need to edit the registry, and I am always very leery
about
changing anything in there without professional advice. Hopefully some
here
can let me know how to do this correctly.

Thanks,
Daren
