| RE: file type icon not correct Hi WildWill, I suppose you have multiple media players installed? You might want to check the file type associated with the other players. It could be the case that AVI is not one of the files associated with your media player.

| Re: file type icon not correct You can change it manually in the Registry at [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AVIFile\DefaultIcon] or using 'Folder Options-->File Types'. ju.c "WildWill" <WildWill@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:DE2164B6-88EA-469C-8969-79625743B3C0@microsoft.com... > Hi - I have set all my .avi files to be "Opened WIth" Windows Media Player, > expecting all the icons accociated with such .avi files to change to the > little Media Player icon - yet they do not.
