Well thanks for the reply, so far I still haven't got it to change. I've already set winamp to always be the default program for opening mp3s. Which it did fine anyway. In winamp's properties you have to slider bars to change icons for songs and playlists and such. Tried changing these, same problem. I also tried the microsoft help file about adding the value 2000 for the icon cache. Same thing. I'm including a picture in this post...assuming I do it right, so everyone can see. If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know!!
