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.
