You need to add the default icon key in the right place(s).

First of all, add a Default Icon key to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico and make the default 
string read: %1

Then, look at the Default string for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico 

Whatever it reads you need to find that key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ and do the same 
thing there.  For example, if the Default string of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico reads 
'icofile' then you need to find HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile and add the DefaultIcon 
key there, too.

Feel free to e-mail me if you don't get it.  Be sure to tell me what the default 
string for you HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico key reads.
