.ico Icon Display

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

It seems to me that Explorer used to display the icon's image
for an icon (.ico) file. This was very useful when creating icons.
Is my memory correct?

I installed software that associates the .ico extension with a program
so now icon files display the program's icon. Undoing the association
didn't revert to the what I remember as the former behaviour. How do I
undo this?

Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary,

Type this command in Run:

cmd /c assoc .ico=icofile

Logoff/login back. If the problem is not fixed, download and apply the .ICO
association fix from
