Icon Preview for .EXE files looks like Snow

Is there any way we can change the global setting (if there is one, which apparently there is) for the preview icon for .EXE files? I have many .EXE files I have to copy to/from windows PC's, and each one has this ugly corrupted looking snow look in finder. It's not a problem, so much as an annoyance.

I can change the icon on a per file basis with a new icon, but not in general for all .EXE files that it finds.

Is this possible?

Thanks!
 
This is what it looks like in finder...

Notice I can adjust the icon as needed per file, but still OS X makes an association only for those that I adjust, not for all .exe files preview images.

I think you can do it with Panic's CandyBar. The weird thing is the icon shouldn't look like that, under 10.4.11 it's just a blank white document icon. This may have changed under 10.5 or 10.6 but I doubt that is what it is supposed to look like.
