Subject:       Windows 95 icon funny

  Sorry about the off-topic query, but I can't find anywhere else to ask, and
I can't find it in several large expensive comprehensive-looking books.
  (1) I now have Windows 95. In its `My Computer' and `Windows Explorer',
against each filename it shows an icon. Which icon it is depends on the suffix
of the filename, e.g. if it is a .BMP file it shows the icon of Windows Paint
or of WANGIMG.EXE . OK so far.
  (2) Except for .ICO files, where it shows the icon that is in the file, e.g.
if file SCUBA.ICO is a 32*32 pixel picture of a scuba set, My Computer or
Windows Explorer shows opposite the name SCUBA.EXE a picture of a scuba set.
  (3) Or rather, it used to. It has suddenly changed to displaying a little
Windows logo in a box (the default icon) opposite all my *.ICO file names.
Please how can I make (2) true for my PC again?
