camilla 0 Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) i can rewrite my question like this create new file type extension Example (tmpx) with the icon of a (jpeg)? by means the system any OS will show (tmpx) exactly as a (jpeg) file. after associating the extension to it Edited September 7, 2013 by camilla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willichan 220 Posted September 7, 2013 Just out of curiosity, why do you want to make an icon look like it is something that it isn't? That example of renaming an EXE to JPG, to look like a JPG, but still execute is a little worrisome to me. Join me in supporting Pediatric Therapy Network through Amazon Smile.

camilla 0 Posted September 7, 2013 do not worry this is just a test in my machine i mean OS and as i said i'm just learning i get this idea and try to make it .. i don't know about how to use dll files i want to see if i can add a new file extension with any icon example jpg icon if you can help post an answer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willichan 220 Posted September 7, 2013 You can try looking at this article. http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/change-file-type-icon-windows-7-vista/ I can't guarantee that it will work on XP also.

camilla 0 Posted September 7, 2013 You can try looking at this article. http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/change-file-type-icon-windows-7-vista/ thank you for your answer,but i want to do that through an autoit script i posted here i did this but it doesn't help RegWrite('HKCR.tmpx', '', 'REG_SZ', 'tmpxfile') RegWrite('HKCRtmpxfileDefaultIcon' "", "REG_SZ", "c:icon.ico ,1");icon.ico is an jpeg ico RegWrite('HKCRtmpxfileshellopencommand', '', 'REG_SZ', "%1") any idea?

willichan 220 Posted September 7, 2013 The article I referenced gives you the registry entries that need to be made. You just need to put it into RegRead and RegWrite statements. If you read the article, and the help file on RegRead and RegWrite, I am sure you will figure it out. You won't learn anything if I do it for you.

camilla 0 Posted September 7, 2013 Note: If the DefaultIcon key does not exist by default, you need to create it manually. 7. In the right-pane, double-click (default) and mention the path to your custom icon (.ico file or reference to an icon resource from a EXE/DLL file) i think i did it in the script above RegWrite('HKCRtmpxfileDefaultIcon' ,"", "REG_SZ", "c:icon.ico ,1");icon.ico is an jpeg ico but nothing changed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSaint 2,449 Posted September 8, 2013 You have a space between .ico and the comma, which may make a difference? And have you tried another number other than '1' after the comma? Perhaps it needs to be zero '0' Where did you get the icon file from? Is it a legitimate icon file, as recognized by Windows? Try another file, a Windows one, that you know has icon images in it (i.e. dll or exe). I presume you've pre-tested things manually, before using code to do it for you? In some of your code in posts above, I see the odd missing key, value or comma, etc. Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth!
