If you know of a better way, can you please tell me? The only reason I'm doing this is because I though it said I had to.
All that I'm trying to do is change the icon of my associated file type.

I don't think you need to do anything else - a restart, a logout or killing explorer should make the new icon show up if I understand correctly.
The entire shell is built with COM, Microsoft's pain-in-the-ass was-to-be universal language that does more harm than good.

I did exactly as MSDN'S example.
(Wow, I reply to a lot of my posts, don't I?)
Anyway, I finally figured out what was wrong. I was just making one of the keys in the wrong spot, throwing the whole thing off. I think one of the moderators should close this thread before I ask another question...
Again, thank you to Codeplug and Elysia, the only ones who answered.
