I encountered this exact same problem when I "upgraded" from Win 2K to Win XP. After
installing Visual Interdev, it became the default application for .asp pages. I
changed the file association to open .asp pages with my text editor, but when I changed
the icon, windows "reset" the file association to the "default" of Visual Interdev.
I was forced to choose between using the application I wanted and using the icon
I wanted. This certainly is not consistent with how any prior version of windows
behaved and I think it is a bug which MS needs to address.
