Hi All I want to find the icon associated with all the file extensions and if no valid extension is there then find the generic icon provided by the system for unknown file extension. Please help me to do this... Thanks

I use the ExtractIcon() function, maybe it can help you... This is just an example ...BOOL foo_notifyIcon() { ZeroMemory(&niData,sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA)); niData.uFlags = NIF_ICON|NIF_MESSAGE|NIF_TIP; hModule = GetModuleHandle((LPCSTR)"executablename.extension"); ico = ExtractIcon(hModule, (LPCSTR)"C:\\windows\\system32\\shell32.dll",18); niData.hIcon=ico; BOOL rc = Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD,&niData); return rc; }
Regards,
