1375134	2014-05-17 04:59:00	Hi all, Folder Options > File Types in XP shows a list of registered file types and would allow the default icon for a file type to be changed/added. How can I do this in Win7? Thanks a lot.	braindead (1685)

1375137	2014-05-17 05:25:00	Thanks Speedy G and wainuitech. I just downloaded FileTypesManager but Default Programs is just the caper. PS: Default Programs won't let me assign an icon. FileTypesManager will.	braindead (1685)

I probably have close to 500 of these but they all have the firefox icon. To differentiate MAFF files I created an icon for them and wanted to apply it to the whole group at once.	braindead (1685)
