Run Regedt32.exe and locate the

entry and delete that Key

Also are you the stupid idiot piece of **** who capitalized each and
every word in ever post over at the printer ng until we all complained
once again to your ISP?
Remember?

Also are you not the dumb fukkin son of a bitch piece of **** who
continues to post in HTML even thought everyone in all of the ng's
you're in has complained about it and told you to stop doing it?
Remember

Would you like your ISP to get so many abuse complaints about you once
again that they think they're getting DDOS, huh?

Are you really as dense and as stupid and ignorant and as fukkin dumb as

In WinXP, you can change the icon of a program. In Vista, you can't do that
any more. I have an issue with xml icon because it's not a defaulticon but i
don't know how to fix it.

Hopefully, MS will have an utility to fix this problem in a new windows
version.

You can't do that in Vista. If i can, do you think that I post my message
here?

You are talking about changing a 'shortcut' of a file icon. If a file
displays incorrectly, changing its shortcut icon won't solve the problem.
