I accidentally tried to open a .VMDK file using WinRAR, forgot to unclick the "Always open" checkbox, and that changed the file icon to that of WinRAR. Eventually managed to reset it using NirSoft's FileTypesMan, but the new(= original) icon refuses to show up in XY (where I still see the WinRAR one), so it seems to be cached somewhere(?).
Can anyone tell me how to get the correct icon also back in XY?

There is a per-process system icon cache that's managed by Windows. Close and restart XY to update it.

In the end I actually had to shut down Windows, which made me a rather unhappy bunny, as that also meant shutting down my z/OS system.
Anyway all is well again.
