This won't work for all file extensions. The ones that Windows comes pre-set with do not give you the option to change the icon - only to reset the association to the Windows default. eg. .mpg comes associated with Windows Media Player. I associated .mpg with another player and now I get the default icon you see when there is no association to a file. When I try to change the icon the only option I have is Reset.
