file association is correct but icons remain wrong

[Rahul]

I installed a Quick Time update and accidentally associated all my jpegs
with quicktime which I obviously did not want! I changed that back using
"open with" "file type associations" etc. so that again "Windows pic and
Fax viewer" became my default jpeg opening app.

So far so good. Unfortunately Windows still insists on showing the Quick
Time icon for all my jpegs. Does anybody know how I can change this?

Reboot ????

About a month has passed since it messed up. More than 10 reboots I
estimate.

Didn't know that one. Thanks! Just tried it though. Still the same problem.
(I haven't rebooted after TweakUI though, yet!)
