Wrong icon displaying for certain file types

[Mark Christensen]

Hello,

I've got XP Pro SP2. My JPE, JPEG, JPG files are displaying the Netscape
icon next to them even though I have gone to Windows Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options and set it up so that Photoshop opens each of these file
types. The Photoshop icon is displayed in the Folder Options as it should
be, and the files do open in Photoshop, but if I go to File > Open in
Photoshop, all of these files have the Netscape icon. How do I make it so
the Photoshop icon is displayed for these? Thanks.

Did you check under "Advanced" option to change the icon there when you were in
Folder Options?

Mark,

Try what TaurArian said first. If that does not help, see if you're seeing
the same behavior in all common dialog boxes (Notepad > File > Option)

You could give my FileExtInfo tool a try. Generate a log and post the info
here.

Going under the Advanced tab worked. At first I didn't have an Advanced
tab, instead it said Restore; once I hit Restore, then it change to Advanced
and I was able to get everything set up the way I wanted it. Thanks.
