A while ago I change what the icon for a .flac file looks like. I changed it to the flac logo, and now I want to change it back to normal but I have no idea how I did it. Does anyone know a quick solution?

Thanks

It's more of a file extention icon that I want to change. For example this is the icon I made to be associated with a .cue file
Now I cannot figure how I ever did it so I can put it back to normal.
No matter what program I set as the default to open a .cue file, the icon never changes.

The rough way to change just the icons is modifying values in the registry.

If you haven't done this before, here's some instructions: Open registry editor (run > regedit.exe) and navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cue. Check what's the value in "(default)". For example, for .txt this is "txtfile". Next, navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.[x], where [x] is the value of "(default)" in previously checked HKCR\.cue. After you find it, expand it and you'll see sub directory called "DefaultIcon". "(default)" value here is the path to the icon file or executable resource. I'm sure there are guides for this.
