IE8 Addons Icon

-
How can I set an icon to an ActiveX Control in the Internet Explorer 8 Manage-Addons-Dialog. I know how to do it with a Browser-Extension but not how to do it with an ActiveX Control. I even can't find any example. Any help or tip would be great!

Do you have a link to information saying it can be done?

No I do not have a link to information saying it can be done but also no that it cannot be done. I supposed if the Control has a place for Icons, then there should be a way to display one for each element not only Browser-Extensions.

Could you please describe how to add icon in IE8 Manage-Addons-Dialog for the Browser-Extension?
You have to add an registry-entry. Here is an example: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683}] "ButtonText"="Messenger" "CLSID"="{1FBA04EE-3024-11D2-8F1F-0000F87ABD16}" "Default Visible"="Yes" "Exec"="C:\\Programme\\Messenger\\msmsgs.exe" "HotIcon"="C:\\Programme\\Messenger\\msmsgs.exe,302" "Icon"="C:\\Programme\\Messenger\\msmsgs.exe,301" "MenuText"="Windows Messenger" "ToolTip"="Windows Messenger" HotIcon/Icon also could be a path to a "Image.ico"

Hm, I think I asked the wrong question. Under the "Browser extensions" I mean also the objects such as BHOs and custom ToolBands. The one way I know to add icon for this object is to create a key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\<GUID> where GUID is a CLSID of my BHO or ToolBand object. In this key I specify the ButtonText and Icon values. After this manipulations I have: 1)Additional record in Manage Add-ons window 2)Icons for both records with specified CLSID. In this solution I don't like additional record in Manage Add-ons window. I will appreciate if someone will describe how to add icon for BHO or ToolBand without adding additional record in Manage Add-ons window.
