Change Application:
If you want to change the application the Commandline for the selected file format must be changed.
You have to select the application and enter a parameter after the application name. Usually the parameter %1 has to appear after the applications name.
Otherwise a double-click on the selected file will start the application, but it will not open the selected file.
If you enable the option "Get and set application icon, too" the File Associator will set the default application icon
for your new file association.

Change Icon:
You can change the symbol for the associated applications very easily.
Just click on Change Icon button and select another icon. If you can't find a nice icon in the program folder of the application, use the browse button to scan your drive(s) for another application icon. Experienced users with some talents know how to create icons. They might use their own ones.
Here too you have to confirm your changes by clicking on the OK button.
