Windows Vista never stops to AMAZE me how well tested it has been!

Now take a look at the picture and explain me how to fix it ICON and Application don't match.... Default program winamp yet Windows Media Player does his best to annoy me

Open with wont work
Open with another application and change back to winamp won't work either
Using set association wont work either

Great that Microsoft software **** every other application I install. Curse that Windows Mediaplayer 11 wich is impossible to REMOVE.

Ok i've let my frustation go now a bit

I know it's small but it ANNOYS ME!! hate that file icon now

thx for help ahead....

ok lol after serveral trails and error I succeeded. Yet this does not mean it's suppose to be this way.

1. Set assiocion of a file to the program which demands the icon to be the wrong one.
2. Reinstall the program which you want to use and show icon
3. Change the association back to the program you want to use and show icon

then it should work...it worked with me now see how long it will work...probably untill windows updates that crappy windows media player again...
