How to access program icon for registry

[Garp99HasSpoken]

In the process of creating an installer for an au3 compiled program, and adding registry entries for right-click context menu,

I find the need to have a program icon associated to it for the context menu.

I simply don't have the previous knowledge with icons to understand what syntax is required.

The registry entry will be setting the icon as Create_NFO.EXE,0

I used

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=C:\bin\Create_NFO.ico

in my program when compiled. Looking at the exe file with a program available here (see image)

I get 5 images and the last one is the one I want to show on the context menu (-5)

So is that what I need to use? Create_NFO.EXE,-5

or am I going about this the wrong way.

Before someone comments on this, I now have these 2 lines in my program

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=C:\bin\Create_NFO.ico
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=C:\bin\Create_NFO.ico

And I can see the correct icon in the taskbar as it's running. I still need context menu to show up.

You have to know only the icon index number of the exe that you want display in your context menu. In your case is -5, so setting the registry key value with:

"C:\WORKINGDIR\Create_NFO.EXE",-5

should do the trick.

That's what I thought but it doesn't seem to work. I've also tried -1 since it's now the same as -5.

I have uninstalled and re-installed but no difference either way.

Have you tried to reboot your system after the registry write?

Tried a reboot without success.

Oh well, I guess it was just a 'nice to have' feature.
