Still Have PealPlayer Icon Problems

Okay. I'll try once more. Two weeks ago all was fine with my media files. All of the files I wanted to be opened with RealPlayerv10 (AVI, MP3, MPEG etc.) were displayed with the RealPlayer icon. As of about a week and a half ago that stopped happening. All of the files associated with RP were being displayed with the crappy 'DONT RAELLY KNOW' icon. They would still open with RealPlayer when double-clicked but would not display the RealPlayer icon in any folder. Simple you say? Of course. Reinstall RealPlayer and associate all media files I want with it. Nice try. Didn't work. Thanks for the advice Major Attitude. Did you think I didn't think of that? Okay. Next attempt. Simply right click on one of the media files in question, choose the default 'File to Open With' button and tick the 'Always' box. Duh! The files ALREADY open with RealPlayer when double clicked. They simply don't display the RealPlayer icon. So I try this. In Control Panel -> Options-> Folder Options -> File Types -> Advanced -> Change Icons I choose the RealPlayer icon for all .mp3 files. STILL doesn't work. If you geniuses can't work it out, how can I?
