Icon & registry

[Kudos]

Hi There!

do someone know where does win save the information about icons ?

I mean, the association between a file extension and its own icon.

I wish to change all my mimetype icons with one .reg file ....

you can use a batch (.cmd) file this way:

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.bmp\DefaultIcon" /VE /D "path\bmpfile.ico" /F

some extensions will link you to sub-classes, there's plenty of info on this same forum

thanks a lot!

i guess something's wrong... that code works with extensions not yet registered (i tried .zzz and it works), but not with the other extensions (jpg, gif, mp3)...

It works also for mp3 and so. The help Symonsays gave you is right.

Also, you can look for "mp3file", and you will see another "defaulticon" entry which you can edit. I do that in XPize.

as i already said some extensions are associated with sub-classes. for example, if winamp is installed .mp3 files are associated to Winamp.file

The file extension for icons is *png

I don't know if this was what you were asking for but I hope it helps
