How to change file associations in Windows XP

And if in some cases the Restore Button is not available..

You can run regedit...Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT...
look for ".ico" key. or folder as the icon shows...
change the (Default value) to icofile

this also applies to screen saver...that turns to AutoCAD script file... and lost the Test, Configure, Install in the Context Menu.
and many more file types usually of [extensionname]file format.
You can also check at HKCR\[extensionname]file\ if it is available.
