How do you change icons on Windows XP?

Since two days ago my icon for movie files has changed to the standard windows media one. I know this might sound stupid but it pisses me off. I hate that icon and I used to have one where it was a little camera with a with piece of paper behind it....

Anyone know how to change these back?

That is because you have only altered one file type, duh. You probably just edited .mpg, while .mpeg, .avi, etc are still uneditted. Get your arse back to it!!
