Better than you guys had in Atlanta from what I heard!

>I think I understand what you're getting at here now. You're suggesting that first we retrieve the application assosicated with the file in the registry by first retrieve the default under the entry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (i.e. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xls = Excel.Sheet.8). Next, we take this information an open the default icon string under something like HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\DefaultIcon. This is usually in the form of "< fully qualified exe or dll filename >,1" where the number following the comma is the zero based offset of the iconresource. Then we have a filename (and some additional information) for the imagelist. Is this what you're getting at?

If you'll pardon the pun: "By George, I think he's got it!"
