Clash of default programmes

A small irritation:

I have two applications which use the extension .flp. One is Macromedia
Flash, the other is FL Studio.

Trouble is windows thinks they're all Flash files, which they're not.

I realise I probably need to choose which I want to make the default, but at
the moment I want to change that to FL Studio.

At the moment, I can't find a way to change the default icon for these
files. I've tried changing the file type in the Folder Options/File Types
box - where *.flp appears as an FLStudio file, with an FLStudio icon.

At the moment the right-click "Open with" option lists both applications,
which is fine, but the file still shows up with a Flash icon.

There must be a way of changing this.

Help?

Click to expand...

There's a 'change icon' option at the top, when you have gone to File
Types and clicked advanced options.

Click there and browse to the FL Studio program, then click accept.

Good luck
