Icon Problems

[Guest Kieron Capehorn]

The file types of media files on my PC have got mixed up.

 

Most media files on my PC now have the Winamp filetype as their icon in

Windows Explorer, even though they do not open in Winamp when you double

click on them by default. In addition, in the 'File Type' section of

Explorer, all of these files are listed as 'Winamp Media File', even though

they are associated with other programs, such as WMP9 and flvPlayer.

 

How can I put this right?

 

Thanks

Re: Icon Problems

 

To change FileTypes:

 

1. From "Explorer" open "Folder Options".

2. Select the tab "File Types".

3. Scroll down to an extension you wish to

modify, like "MP3". Select it.

4. Click the "Advanced" button.

5. You can change the "FileType" by typing

a description in the top input area.

(left of the "Change Icon..." button)
