SadBunny Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 You can set the icon for many filetypes in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry subkeys. For instance, HKCR\dqyfile\DefaultIcon sets the icon in the 'Default' value. Maybe there are API calls for this too, perhaps one of the most esteemed API extremists knows more?
