I thought I would have a quick answer, but it seems not - I have had this issue, buit currently VLC files on my PC show as distinct types, eg .mp3 are 'MP3 audio file (VLC)', whilst .ogg are (you guessed it) 'OGG video File (VLC)'. It may be simply a case of updating your vn of VLC player (mine is 3.04), because I don't think this separation of types existed previously. The info is stored in the registry under, for example,
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VLC.ogg
with a separate key for each extension registered, with corresponding data back up the reg list, eg
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ogg
has a default value of 'VLC.ogg'

Its that default value which shows in Explorer, but there has to be a corrseponding entry further down (as my first inset above) which contains the associated executable etc, so you can't just edit the default value to a sring of your choise.
