How do I retrieve the files associated icon from the file system? I think it's based on it's extension. Tony Hi Tony, I am not sure of this but a quick look at registry gave me this. Associated class id of each extension can be found under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\<extension>\OpenWithProgids check for the corresponding class id under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. You can find the default icon and under the "shell" key you can find the associated executable for view/edit.

HOW TO: Use the SHGetFileInfo Function to Get the Icons That Are Associated with Files in Visual C# .NET http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=319350 Mattias  SignatureMattias Sjögren [MVP] mattias @ mvps.org http://www.msjogren.net/dotnet/ | http://www.dotnetinterop.com Please reply only to the newsgroup. Is there a way to get the ICON if I just pass a file extension - since my files are stored in the database at the time I want to display the icon?
