Here's what I do:

I go to Tools/Folder Options/File Types

I select MP3 Winamp Media File


I click Advanced

I click Change Icon

I change the icon and close the windows.

Everything is fine. The Winamp Media files have the icon I want.

Now I shut down the computer. When I reboot, the settings are lost
and it reverts back to the old icon I don't want.

How do I get it to remember the new icon setting?

Thanks.

How are you logging on to this computer? Is it on a
network or a standalone? Do you have administrator/owner
rights?

Try going here:

and applying the edit named "Windows XP Doesn't Save User Settings"

Line 30, left-hand column.

Yes I have administrator/owner rights. It's just one home computer.
