mp3 icon not working

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

My MP3 icons are no longer appearing, despite the fact that I've associated
the file type with Winamp and tried on several occasions to change the icon.
I've tried the following as well:

regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll

and when I checked the registry, .mp3 default is Winamp.File and mp3file
default is mp3 format sound. Any suggestions?

Registering the shimgvw.dll does not touch the mp3 file types. Export the
contents of this key, and post here:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTWinamp.File

Keep the backup key in a safe location. And, then do this:

Delete the "IconHandler" key below:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.File\ShellEx\IconHandler]

Restart Windows.
