    How to link a specific icon to a specific File type?


    What tools can be used for this purpose? (FileTypesMan, etc.)

    1. Currently there is one icon for the various File types associated with the app.
    2. Icons have been customized for each distinct file type for the app. (10 custom icons for each File Type)
    3. How to link the new icons to each separate file type?
      currently when this is done linking one icon to one file type, it changes the icon for ALL associated file types for the app.

    I think something called MIME needs to be edited in order to make distinctions between the different file type extensions?

    :)

    setting default icon to display for specific file types with registry


    I just right-clicked on the Notepad icon/Tile I have Pinned on Start, chose More then Open File location, It brings up the icon in Windows Accessories then right-click and chose Change Icon which then gave me the default, only one available unless digging into other files in the Windows system.
