Default What? Where's the Windows Explorer association with this file?

Running Win98FE and installed the sothink flv player

Works great!, full screen, just double click on the .flv file and the
video runs.

Except...

The icon in front of the .flv stays generic as though nothing will
open it.

Going to the Windows Explorer I went down through the whole list
trying to find an association, nothing!

Thought I'd manually just change the icon, so I right click on
the .flv file and view properties. That's so brief as to be
laughable. Since Win98 thinks no application can open the .flv file
there is no icon to change.

Ok, so how do I 'force' this association? I could ignore it, but I
keep feeling pangs of panic seeing that blank icon.

Robert
