File Icons in Window Explorer

[Drew DUBLER]

I have PSP and most of my graphic files are associated with it.
This gives all these different file types the same icon in Window
Explorer. I would like to give each file type their own icon, and
still have them remain associated with PSP. Is this possible?

If dis-association is the only way to this, how easy can I get PSP
to load a dis-associated file?

Sure
Open explorer or My Computer
Under Tools, select Folder Options, then select the File Types tab.
Scroll down to find the extention you want to change
Click Advanced and change the Icon.

No workie. When I change the BMP icon from the PSP icon to my
