Gah, I hate my brother

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

My brother installed this new Nero CD burning program on our computer, and now all my music files have this wierd new icon. They still open with the same program, only the icon has changed. How can I change it back?

[PinkFloydFan082692]

don't know, ask vince, he might know, but I know how you feel, I have two brothers, both older than me, and they overpower me, but yeah, ask vince, he's smart at that kind of stuff

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

Who's vince?

[Benzum]

What media player do you use?
Try the settings there, failing that, set program access and defaults? I don't really know, it's nothing that important though, it's just an icon.

[PinkFloydFan082692]

Who's vince?

never mind, then

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

I use WMP.

[Pazz]

Right click on your songs, and go to properties. Where it says Open With, click on it and choose the program you want to open it with.

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

No, it still opens with WMP, it just has the wrong icon.

[Pazz]

Just do that. It should fix it.

[asholle]

My Computer, Tools, Folder Options, File Types, click the extension you want to change, Advanced, Change Icon, then browse to C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe

[PinkFloydFan082692]

or, matt could fix it:thumb:

[Rockafella]

Try:

Right click -> Properties -> Customize -> Change Icon...

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

Just do that. It should fix it.
I already did, it didn't work.

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

There's nothing called "tools" when I open My Computer.
There's nothing called Customize when I open my properties.

[Pazz]

Well, then just learn to like it?

I know that used to happen to me back when I used WMP, but it always changed back eventually. It never bothered me though.

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

:upset:

[Pazz]

If that seriously bothers you, then you have a problem.

are you not using Windows XP?

[Benzum]

Why don't you try the Settings in the Nero program?

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

are you not using Windows XP?
Yes.

And can do, swim.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

It's just an icon. Big whoop.

[I'm Charming]

Dumb question....

Why the hell would you have a problem with Nero?

I have Nero Enterprise ED 7 and I love it.

[form]

It's just an icon. Big whoop.

Beat me to it, I was gonna say that.

As long as the music plays, I don't see what so bad, your listening to it, not watching the icons.

[Turtle Soup]

Nero Showtime is gay.

try going to file types and uncheck them in the nero prefs

[PepsiMetal]

There's nothing called "tools" when I open My Computer.

You don't see file, edit, view, favorites, tools, and help under the titlebar when you open my computer?

[Turtle Soup]

lol it's in the titlebar

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

OHHH, the title bar!

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

OK, now I don't see anything that says 'advanced'.

[BigTrav415]

That reminds me of the time I downloaded a Chip's Challenge level editor. It stored levels as .DAT files, so basically all my important system files had a funny little Chip icon. Freaking awesome.

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

Dude, wtf, I didn't do anything and now they all have winamp icons. They still open in WMP.

[Benzum]

So take it into a shop, get it fixed :lol:
