It seems like years ago, I mean before Directory Opus, that there was some way to cause image files (jpg, bmp, etc.) as the icon instead of the icon associated with the program.
Anyway, that's what I would like to do using a lister. I know how to use thumbnails, lists, etc., so that's not the answer I am looking for. Thanks if you can help.
In the registry, in the class key for the particular file type, you used to be able to set %1 as the value for the DefaultIcon entry which would cause Windows to use the file itself for the icon. For example,
[code]HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/.bmp
(Default) BitmapFile <-- .bmp filetype points to BitmapFile in this example - it might point to something else on your system
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/BitmapFile
DefaultIcon
(Default) %1[/code]
No idea if it still works these days though!
Thanks. I don't think it works any more.
