How to restore the default icon for EPS files?

Question

Windows

At some point, on the computer, the icons of eps files became the same as ai. This is very inconvenient for me, because. it is impossible to quickly determine what type of file you are opening, you have to look at the extension. Yes, there is a Default Programs Editor program, but it also failed to find the default icon for eps. Dancing with a tambourine in the registry also failed . I would be very grateful for the solution to this problem.)

In general, icons are stored inside exe- or dll-files. The binding to the extension is registered in the registry. Thus, you need to find the corresponding entry in the registry and correct the icon identifier there. I do not use Adobe Illustrator, so I will not indicate the exact path, but I will indicate the direction. You can edit directly in the registry, you can use the FileTypesMan utility. Here , the article tells how to do it.
