Default Package Icon Changed, How to Change it Back?
Hi!

I’ve been looking everywhere on the Internet to try and figure out a solution, but I haven’t really figured out anything that worked.
I accidentally opened up a package file in s3pe, so now every package file that I have has the icon for s3pe.

I found links on how to try to change it back, but nothing has worked. I was OK with it until I needed to change a package file into a world file. Because this package file has the S3PE Icon, it won’t change into a world file.
(you see, it doesn't change into a world file an normally it asks me if i'm sure I want to change it blah blah stuff, but it still stays as a package file)

Has anyone else gone through this? Please tell me what solution you’ve made to change your package file back to normal, (this is the icon for my packages before) or at least let me know how I can change a package file into a world file since the S3PE icon is up there.

Please and Thank you!!

Yes, happened to me, you need to make sure you can view file extensions again

Is this one doesn't work (this is Windows 10) then google how to enable file extensions and you should get a whole lot of options

Thanks so much! I was able to change the file into a world file!
