In WinXP, you can change the icon of a program. In Vista, you can't do that
any more. I have an issue with xml icon because it's not a defaulticon but i
don't know how to fix it.

Hopefully, MS will have an utility to fix this problem in a new windows
version.
 
You can't do that in Vista. If i can, do you think that I post my message
here?

You are talking about changing a 'shortcut' of a file icon. If a file
displays incorrectly, changing its shortcut icon won't solve the problem.
