I am getting ready to release a .NET 2003 application, and this application has a file type associated with it.
During the installation I register the extension to be associated with my application, and everything is working fine.
My question has to do with the icons. I want a specific icon for the exe, and also a specific icon for the files associated with my app.
I want to have both icons in the exe file.
I guess my question would be, how do i embed 2 different icons into an exe, so that if you selected that exe as an icon source, windows would see the different icons in it (as seperate icons)
I know I can embed them as a resource, but windows only sees the main icon.
To give you an example, of what I am trying to do, winamp, the mp3 player program, has several icons in its exe (see picture)
(the visual studio IDE exe - devenv.exe - also has more than 1 icon in it)
