dbminter Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Where are the former Folder Options for being able to change the icon association with a file type in Vista? Back in XP, they were in Folder Options under File Types, but Microsoft fucking changed things once again, naturally. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I think the option you want is Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Associate a file type or protocol with a program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 That only changes the application used to open the file extension with. It doesn't have an icon option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 You might just have to do it directly in the registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Yeah, what I found while searching indicated editing the Registry. One solution I found that does work is to install a separate application called Creative Element Power Tools. It has a place where you can change the icon of an association under Vista.
