Change file type icons easily in Windows 7 / Vista

In Windows 7 / Vista changing the file type is next to impossible; you have to fire up regedit.exe and do some inhuman things.
Luckily, NirSoft has developed this wonderful and FREE program to handle just this case. Get FileTypesMan here.
Short tutorial is here, if you don’t find it simple enough. It should be though.
Remember, Windows only understands .ICO files; so should you need to convert .PNG or other formats to .ICO, I recommend Icon Sushi (free program) or converticon.com (free web service)
