SWF files not having correct icon/file association in file explorer

I am using the most recent version of Adobe Animate (2023) and when I publish an swf file, it does not have the correct file icon in the file explorer due to not having a file association. Does anyone have a fix for this?

    Associate the .swf extension to the Flash Player that comes with Animate. Here's where it's located on Windows:

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Animate 2023\Players\FlashPlayer.exe

    that's an os issue.  google your os and file icon.

    I meant like the icon for the swf file itself not the file explorer icon sorry I worded it weird.

    same answer.  your file system assigns icons which you can change.
