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?

just change the program you're opening the file with, right click on the file, properties, change and so on.....
hope it helps

Thanks for your reply....

I did this and yes it changed what it opens with but not the icon. Also I need to do this every day now. Change from windows media player to the other one so I can take my screen caps

Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - File Types - (click on the desired filtype to be changed - Advanced - Change Icon...

This should work.

Kinda worked.........

Anyone else?

Kinda worked?

It changed the ones on my desktop but not in my folders....

it should have taken you as long to figure it out as it did for you to start this thread.

Dude if ya aint got anything positive to say then don't say anything at all.......

no one says anything positive on this board.

right click on the folder > properties > customize > change icon

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!! :thumbsup
