Thanks, Bill

I tried that but while it changes the program that the file opens with, it
doesn't change the heading under which the file is grouped.

I assume that this is registry setting but couldn't find it. Eventually, I
solved it by opening ACDSee and changing the file types that this program
opens by unchecking the type .ICO.

All was restored
