To associate a file with a program

Open My Computer.

Double-click a drive or folder.

Right-click a file, and then click Open With. If Open With is not available, click Open.

Follow the instructions under the option that matches the dialog box you see:
Open With--Recommended Programs list

Under Programs, click the program in which you want the file to open, or click Browse to locate the program you want.
-or-
Click the look for the appropriate program on the Web link to search the Web for a program to open your file.

Open With--No Recommended Programs list


Under Programs, click the program in which you want the file to open, or click Browse to locate the program you want. You can also type a comment that provides information about the file type. This information will appear in the folder window under Details when you view the file in a folder.
-or-
Click the look for the appropriate program on the Web link to search the Web for a program to open your file.

Cannot open this file

Windows cannot find a program to open the file. In the Cannot open this file dialog box, do one of the following:

Click Use the Web service to find the appropriate program. This enables you to search the Web for the program that will open the file.
-or-
Click Select the program from a list to choose a program to open the file in the Open With dialog box.

Well, programs that use that icon should look fine.
But I would just go into the Registry and change the default icon for .ico files to "%1" or something...
