Renaming application that opens a file

[Jim Richards]

When I rename (change) the application that opens a file, the file opens
with this changed application but the ICON remains the same. It is the Icon
of the former application which no longer opens the file. How do I get the
Icon next to the file name in windows explorer 7 to reflect the correct
Icon? TIA, Jim

You must change the icon using folder options in either IE or the control
panel.
