Underneath Tools|Folder Options, the "File Types" tab allows you to set 
the icon associated with any file extension.

  For filetypes associated with a particular application, the application 
installer normally initializes this association using an icon bundled with 
the application -- usually, stored as a "resource" inside an .EXE or .DLL 
file, rather than as a separate .ICO file.  But that does not prevent a user 
from later changing the association to any other icon available on the 
system.
