How to retrieve application icon of a file type ?

Hi there, Kindly tell me how to retrieve the application icon of a registered file type from the file extension without having a specific file name. For example, I need to retrieve the application icon associated with file type having extension ".doc". Regards Gaurav:confused: Gaurav Gumber

HICON GetFileIconHandle(LPCTSTR lpszFileName, BOOL bSmallIcon)
{
UINT uFlags = SHGFI_ICON | SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES;

if (bSmallIcon)
    uFlags |= SHGFI\_SMALLICON;
else
    uFlags |= SHGFI\_LARGEICON;

SHFILEINFO sfi;
SHGetFileInfo(lpszFileName, FILE\_ATTRIBUTE\_NORMAL, &sfi, sizeof(SHFILEINFO), uFlags);

return sfi.hIcon;
