Actually, I am specify using a registry file.
The problem was that I was specifyng the icon for *.ex, but not for
*.exw. Windows was assiging the icon for *.exw files, and giving it the
wrong one.
You turned my brain on when you said there could be different size icons
in the file. Thank you.
I had assumed that it was the same icon, but used differently with 16bit
and 32bit programs.

Using the registry seems to be fairly simple once you get the hang of
it. Though I'm only doing basic stuff. I've never tried setting up mime
or DDE registries.
Here is my registry file for anyone interested.
I'd like to get some feedback from someone who knows more about this
stuff. If I've done it correctly or not. It does work, but I could very
well be missing things, seeing as I learned through trial and error.
For anyone who doesn't have EU file type associations set up, you can
use these registry entries by putting them into a file named
EU_Registry.reg and then double-clicking the file.
This registry assumes the default paths for Windows and Euphoria, and
uses ed.ex as the EU source editor. If you have euphoria or windows in a
different directory than specified in the registry, you will need to
modify it.
You will probably also want to change the editor being used.
The ..\ShellNew keys add EU file types to the 'New' context menu
This registry adds all 4 types, if you don't want all or any of them,
just delete those keys.
If you have the registered version of Euphoria, you can easily add
'bind' and 'shroud' context menu items to *.ex and *.exw
