Having Correct Icons for Vid/Audio files

[sougouk]

Hello Everyone!!

Yesterday I reformated and reinstalled XP and I'm having a problem finding the correct Icons for Video and Wav files.

When I reinstalled XP last year, I did something in order to dissassociate the video and wav files from wmp8, so the files can play on WMP6.4(mplayer2.exe).
Then I don't remember what else I did in order to have AVI use the "grey video icon", MPEG use the "light blue video icon", WMV use the "Windows video icon" and WAV use the "blowhorn icon".

This is merely for aesthetic(sp?) purposes, but it does help to differentiate between files. It's much better than having all your files use wmp8 icon.

Thanks

Oh I know how to do that, but finding those icons were impossible. Thanks for your help, BUT after looking through WMP6.4 I remembered what I did to bring back the actual icons.

All I did was to make sure BOTH WMP6.4 and 8 have access to the file types, BUT they will open in 6.4 by default. I guess I just needed to explore a bit more.

Thanks

Oh BTW, now all the forums I visit work the way they used to, and no more anoying heavy lag. All it took was a reformat
