David,
Thanks for your response.
The icon you describe is linked to gnome-file-types-properties. It does
not exist on my system. According to my Googling it is provided by the
control-center rpm but doesn't seem to be the case with Core 3. I've
looked on Core 2 and Tao Linux and it's there. All the documentation
points toward using it to set the default icon for different file types.
I can right click on each individual file and set them but it's a pain.
It would be much easier to do it all at once.
Thanks again,
Steve
