Did you try rebooting after your changes? Sometimes the icons won't change until you reboot, but it'll still open with the app you just associated it with.

Yeah, I was wrong. For some stupid reason MS made all video icons look the same with newer versions of Media Player. If you want different icons for different video types, you need to install an older version. I have both 6.4 and 9 installed. I keep video files associated with 6.4 for a double-click, but if I want to use 9 I just right-click on a file and select 'Play with Media Player'.

Yes, you can get it here...

XP might tell you it's incompatible during installation, but I haven't had any problems with it.

its already in all versions of windows
just go start>run and enter "mplayer2" without the quotes

For an even older version do the same as above replacing mplayer2 with mplay32
