SPSS on Win 10, file types icons are the same in browser

[Kirill Orlov]

On my Windows 10, SPSS (versions 22, 25) have the same icon for files
.SAV, .SPS, .SPV etc. as appearing in Windows browser. Despite that
there exists a separate .ICO for each type in the installation folder.
(On my older PC with Win 7, every SPSS version had always different
icons for the different files.)

Is there a remedy?

I don't know why the file type icons are not working on your system but there is an file types manager downloadable from here.

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html  

It allows you  to set the specific icon for each file type.  The Statistics icons are stored like this (my V26 is installed in c:\spss26).

"C:\spss26\datafile.ico",0  (sav file)

"C:\spss26\syntaxfile.ico",0  (sps file)

"C:\spss26\OutputSPV.ico",0  (spv)

"C:\spss26\productionmode.ico",0  (spj)

"C:\spss26\spdfile.ico",0  (spd)

"C:\spss26\spdfile.ico",0  (spe)

and others.  In FileTypeManager find the extension you want to modify and use Edit > Edit Selected File Type.  This is the list of icon files I see for V25.

Jon,
Unfortunately this does not help.
The program sets the .ICO as I want, but ultimately all SPSS file types receive the same icon. For example, if I set datafile.ico for .SAV and then set syntaxfile.ico for .SPS, both .SAV and .SPS will have syntaxfile.ico (and thence syntax icon in browser).

Also, The edit file type Dialog have a note at the top of it: "Notice - Changing the properties of this file type may affect the following extensions: .csaplan, .csplan, .sav, .sbs, .sgt, .spe, .spj, .sps, .spv, .stt, .wwd"

In short, I fail to set different icons to different extensions.

Any thoughts?
