How2 REGEDIT ICONS

I used to have the instructions for this somplace, but seem to have
misfiled them . . .
I want to override the M$ default icons for Word Backup files. I cannot
do that from the Folder Options tab. I need to go into the registry and
change or ADD lines to use a different icon.
The wbk icon looks too similar to the doc icon. I click on it by
mistake and then run into file saving permissions problems.
Using XP Home, Word 2002.

Type regedit in start- run and navigate here
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Backup.8\DefaultIcon

The first icon in a file is 0, the second is 1, etc.

D:\WINDOWS\Installer\{91110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9}\wordicon.exe,=
4
So you can probably just change the number at the end.
