Changing Icon for File Association in Win Explorer

I installed Photoshop and told it to associate all .psd files to it. Worked
fine and used the Photoshop icon beside the psd files.

I then installed Photoshop Elements and instructed it to NOT associate with
psd files, but it did anyway.

I was able to change the actual association back to Photoshop, but the darn
Elements flower icon still shows next to psd files.

Can that be changed also?

Thanks,

Dennis

If it is in fact just the icon that's screwed up, you can go back into the
File Types page, find the entry for PSD files, and click the Advanced
button -- you'll see at the top of the page where you can change the icon.

I'm not 100% certain, but I'd be willing to bet that the generic Photoshop
icon is in either the Photoshop program directory or in the Photoshop .EXE
file itself.

Open Folder Options in your Control Panel,
click on File Types Advanced Change Icon.

I found a strange thing. The "Change Icon" was present for some file types
and not others. Of course, psd didn't have it.

The option I was presented with was to revert to Elements.

Finally I removed the psd entirely and reestablished the pad association and
it worked the second or third try.

Strange, but solved.

Thanks,

Dennis
