Which one is better?

[Falcon_Speed]

I want to change the icon associating with a particular file type.

Which one is better to change in the registry?

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\


Here is an example of what I am talking about.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\giffile\DefaultIcon
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\giffile\Defaul tIcon

Thanks for your help!

CLASSES_ROOT is a copy of SOFTWARE\Classes so it doesn't matter which one you change.

I'm a newbie, take it easy on me
