Hi, how to restore the .prt file icon and default open method?

I am using a creo2.0, I changed to the file default open method to creo parametric.exe, but after I do that the original icon have changed from a preview icon to something else, and every one of them are the same. Also when I click it, it use the creo to open it directly, it is not bad, what bad thing is, it always create a .err file near my .prt file., I used the method on the youtube but doesn't work. Now I mass up all .1 file, but .2 and .3 are good, because I have not change. I don't know the relationship between .1 file and .prt or.asm, but it shows .1 in the property.Capture.JPG

Fante,

The .1, .2, .3, etc extension that you see is the way that Creo saves iterations of a file.  The full file name is: <filename>.<extension>.<iteration>, Windows, by default, only recognizes the characters after the last '.' as the extension and treats all of the rest as part of the file's descriptive name.

‌Thanks, do you know how to change the icon and the open method of the file to its original state?   Which is in the picture shown on some of the files.
