so why it doesn't work for you? i'll have to digress...
ps try removing registry keys 0 & 2, then what happens?
(extract them first so you can restore them)
If I remove the 2 key, then xplorer² displays the default icon defined by the 0 key, as it should. If I remove both, then the Windows default icons are used. If both are defined then xplorer² continues to display icon 2 instead of icon 0 without fail.
I am sure that xplorer² is the issue here, since Explorer is always correctly displaying the assigned icons, but it's hard to understand what the difference is between your XP/SP2 and mine.
explorer is hardly the benchmark, these guys cheat like crazy
what should clinch it is another explorer replacement e.g. 2xExplorer or any of the other thousands out there: if they fail then it's your setup otherwise it's x2

How exactly is Explorer 'cheating like crazy'?

Every single other Explorer replacement I tried (and I tried several) did NOT display the MS-DOS program icon in place of the default (and that included your own 2xExplorer). I think the problem must be with xplorer²; don't you now agree?
