I just installed Notepad++ and opened a php file using open with, I then checked off Always use selected program to open this kind of file in windows. The file has a notepad icon. How can I change this icon to a custom one?



** Update **
The files with regular notepad icons are on a secondary drive not my C: drive. I just looked at php files on my C drive and they have the association. Any idea what I can do?

  • when you use the Windows "choose program" or "open with" to assign associations, it always chooses a weird default icon. Try doing associations in the native program's settings.

  • I also tried going to Tools - Folder Options - File Types, and set all PHP files to use Notepad++ but they still have the default windows notepad icon.

It seems like you'd probably have to edit the registry or download a program that basically edits the registry for you. Here's an example: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/57455-file-extension-icon-change-default-icon.html
