An interesting one. Icon-File association.

[LucaUWF]

Does anyone know, or can anyone steer me on the right track, on how to use VB code to alter the associated icons with file types. I've looked about a bit on the web, but thus far it seems to only be manageable via C/C++.

Scenario:

My program use a new file type created by host software for the clients, but up to now these files (Unless manually associated via Folder Options etc) are represented by the standard unknown file type windows icon.

Ideally, what I would like, is either during install or when the app is first run, to have it associated a particular icon with the file type.

Any help would be appreciated.

Pft! I wouldn't be ignored in vbCity like this.

Seriously... anyone?
