Default How to change a document type icon

I want to change the icon that appears on txt files. They were once
associated with NoteTab Pro and look like a red cross ensignia.

I now use TextPad and have associated txt files with it. However
when working from filetype dialog accessed from
explorer/tools/folder options/file types

I see no opportunity to change the file type. It is listed as:

NoteTabPro txt and
Opens with textpad.

Its easy to change the `opens with' part but even with the advanced
selection I see no way to change the type or its icon.

One would expect the type to change to TextPad and have the TextPad
icon but it does not.
