Nomi Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Hi,I know how to associate icons for file types using folder options.I want to know the registry entries to associate icons for all the extentions using registry entries, so that i could associate my custom icons for .mp3 , .wma etc during RunonceEx. It might be more handy if there is an INF way to do that.will anyone share the views? thanks.EDIT: If there is a way to change special folder's icons too, like Document & Setting... ProgramFiles etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomi Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 I've already read that thread of yours but there are no Filetypes icons in shell32.dll, explorer.exe or mydocs.dll. What if i want to have custom icon for mp3 file, if i install Winamp, the mp3 file's icon should come from winamp.exe, does it sound good to hack winamp.exe too and other applications of which icons i want changed? Well i dont even want to change file associations but only the icons of file extentions like we do with folder options. Is there any registry or inf way to do that ? instead hacking the application exe to which our file is associated?Ex: .jpg .mp3 .wma .pdf .doc .xls .etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3\DefaultIcon]@="C:\\Windows\\Resources\\Icons\\mp3.ico"or for .exe[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3\DefaultIcon]@="C:\\Windows\\Resources\\Icons\\myicons.exe,1"would also be an example this is just from memory so it should work, but check in registry first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
