Well, normally it shows the icon of the program associated with the Jpeg and Gif file, e.g. ACDsee. Do you want to change the program itself?

im using XP. my bad sorry about that. with SP1


it looks like this right now, linky

i want to change it to something else. i was able to change the little blue image im the middle of the icon, but i cant change the icon itself.

Everything is found under Control Panel -> Folder Options -> File Types. The icon and program association.

ok thats. great. i found the file. the only thing is that it sets the .jpg .gif and .bmp all to the same icon. oh well. i was going to try to make each diff, but this will do. thanks!

Tools => Folder Options => File Types => Select the file type, in this case gif => click on the Advanced button below => click on 'Change Icon' and select the icon file you want to use
