Icon Hijacking!!!

Software involved: Windows XP Shareaza ABC (Another Bittorrent Client)
I installed Shareaza and it hijacked the .torrent extension from ABC. Anyways, I unchecked torrent files from Shareazas file association and now they open with the right program, ABC. So far so good!
However, torrent files STILL use the shareaza icon. Icons can't be changed through windows file type association or any file properties back to ABC.
It's not a huge problem in itself, but it bugs me everytime I see those damn icons.
