I just uninstalled Photoshop 4, and installed Photoshop 7. For some odd reason, the JPG files on my desktop show a PSD icon instead of the JPG icon that I selected in Windows folder options. I've already tried using TweakUI, didn't fix the problem. Anyone can help me on this? Thanks!

Photoshop icon problem

I looked through the Preferences in Photoshop, and I don't see anything about making it the default program for JPGs. Right now, when I double click any image file, it does open in Photoshop. It's just that every image file has the PSD icon, which is very annoying.
Try this tip which I copied from an old post.

Hi
I've had some trouble with corrupt icons on my win xp pro sp1 machine. After much search on the web I finaly found that one where supposed to delete the IconCache located in C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ USERNAME\LOCAL SETTINGS\APPLICATION DATA\IconCache.db (where USERNAME is your account name)
Once you have deleted that file start up TweakUI for win xp and choose to rebuild icons. Next time you start Win Xp the file you previously deleted is now rebuilt and this worked wonderfull for me.
I just wanted to share this tip to others who might have the same problem."
If no luck with the above.
Normally you would use the following method method via the Edit File Type option.
Folder Options/ File Types (Select your file type eg. Jpg)/ Advanced/ Change Icon.
Click to change the icon that is associated with this file type.

linney, I just did what bob2 posted, and it did not work. I've also gone into Folder Options, and all the icons for JPGs, GIFs, and others are correct. But Windows is still displaying the PSD icon for all my images. I think I have to tweak the registry to fix this problem. However, I have no idea what key within the registry to edit.
This might help (not sure, but there is a mention of a similar problem half way into post).
Also running Sfc /Scannow from the Start Run box may help.
