My System

Once you have made the file association...if the icon doesn't change, please try the following:

- In Explorer, click Tools then Folder Options then File Types
- Scroll to image type (jpg, jpeg, bmp, gif, png etc), highlight it and then click Advanced
- Then click Change Icon and browse to the following file:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll
- You will then be able to restore the original jpeg, bmp, gif, png icon

If you do not have an option for Advanced on the file type menu, select Restore and this may fix the problem itself...if not, continue with the steps above :)

Post back on your progress please :)
