How do I stop IntelliJ from overriding my file icons in file explorer?

How do I stop IntelliJ from overriding my file icons in file explorer?

This sounds stupid and unnecessary, but I use custom file type icons so everything is nice and matching on my computer. However if I choose IntelliJ as the default method of opening a file type, it overrides it. The program I used (FileTypesMan) to change the default icon no longer works for those files, I've tried looking in IntelliJ settings to maybe see if I could disable it, but I haven't found anything. Is there another version that fixes this issue? Does anyone know a workaround? I'm using IDEA 2025.2.6.1, any help would be appreciated.
