It there a way to apply a different icon to my .php .js and .css files and yet open them with the same app (Sublime Text or Notepad++).
I tried using FileTypesMan in no avail.
It changes the icon of the app and thus all other file types that are assoc. with this app.
I just want to apply icons like these and open them with the same app:

There's no Windows-native way of doing that. Your options are: either to manually edit registry or use 3rd-party tools such as Types to make these changes.

Nope. It does exactly the same thing as change icon trough windows. Both .js and .css get the same icon because they are handled by the same app. – Miro – 2013-05-24T21:43:19.580
@miro are you associating files or changing their associated icons? – Mxx – 2013-05-25T02:21:41.820
Trying to change their associated icon. But when I change the icon for .js it also changes the icon for .css – Miro – 2013-05-25T03:00:32.563

Yep, I knew about the RegEdit solution. I just needed something more user friendly with UI. Thanks. – Miro – 2013-05-24T20:23:15.183
@miro: I don't understand why FileTypesMan didn't help. When you edited the .JS or .CSS file type and specified the icon, what exactly did you select as the Default Icon?
