All my JPEG file association types have an icon in Windows Explorer that
looks like this:

http://www.moonjams.com/JPG_Image.jpg

I've changed it in Folder Options several times...to Photoshop CS3...but
that stupid paint bucket looking thing (from I believe Windows Picture & Fax
Viewer) keeps coming back. I've even tried rebuilding my Icons w/ Tweak UI.
This is really starting to bother me now...I want my **** Photoshop Icon to
display.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

John responds: Working on a friends system, I encountered a similar problem.
We cured it by removing some old Adobe products. We also reinstalled
Photoshop Elements 5 and Photoshop 7. Both then appeared on the list of
recommended programs under <Tools> <Folder Options> <File Types> <Change..>.

Wait a minute...GOT IT !!!

The problem was...I wasn't able to access the *Advanced* button in Folder
Options > File Type. For the heck of it...I set the jpg group of file types
back to 'Restore'...& the 'Advanced' button popped right up. Once I had
that...I was able to first set the Icon...& then I switched the opening
program back to Photoshop, as well. That did it

Thanks, John.
