getting the icon and extension

[Adrian Soon]

Hi all, How do I able to get all the icons and extension of my files in my computer using coding?:confused: is there anyway? I know is something to do with HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT but I not sure how to code it. is there any sample? thanks.:-D I wish to take them out and then place it on a treeview. so user can see the all my treeview having diff icons.

Unless a file is associated with an extension in Windows Explorer, nothing is stored in the registry. Do you only want to find registered file types ? Then they are in the registry. Otherwise, you can't find them.

Don't you see the sample code in that link? Well, it is VB code so you might need VB to C# converter.... or you can simply change this code to C# if you have some idea about VB..
