Windows 8: How to Restore .exe icon

Hello all.

There is an old "solved" post on at sevenforums.com about this very same issue
How to Restore .exe icon Solved - Page 3 - Windows 7 Help Forums
But still now, I'm having the very same issue with 3ds Max 2015.

The files in the main folder look the same as the ones posted.
There is a 3dsmax.exe, the main executable, and removing and re-adding the exe extension doesn't cut it.
My .max files, although associated with the 3dsmax.exe, they don't get the max icon... which is annoying, and it's driving me crazy...
I think this has something to do with moving the installer from its initial place, but that I can't remember where it was when I installed it... I think this happened when I uninstalled something else from autodesk...
Anyway, if there is any other idea, I'd be gratefull.

Thanks.

Thanks.
This application can get me to change the program and associated files icons, but not for the shell and context menus...
The "open with" option and such, still show a generic program icon, not the one modified by Microangelo... still very anoying.

It is a kind of a way to go around the issue, but not solving it at its root.
Anyway thanks for pointing me this.
