mp3 icon not working

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
 
How do I just export the contents of the key? The only export option I've
found is for the entire registry, and since I don't know exactly what
information you need (ie. if there is other info that would be included in
the export than I could simply see and copy), I'm not entirely sure what you
need.

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

Delete the "IconHandler" key below:

Restart Windows.
