    Programs shortcuts'icons changed when changed exe file icon appearance


    Hi guys, so I have a little problem, I've downloaded FileTypesMan because I wanted to change the .exe files appearance on my computer.

    I did this using this program - all .exe file icons changed, however, with them changed ALL the shortcuts to all the programs that I have on my laptop - now they all look the same.

    I can't figure out how to change it all back.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    THanks
    Max

    Hello Max, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

    If you like, you might see if downloading and merging the .reg file for the listed exe item in the tutorial below may be able to help. It'll restore the default association and registry entries for exe files.
