Say I have a file and there is set an icon to it. How to get the icon which is figured on the file? File is an arbitrary - some extension about which I have no idea. Just how to get its icon.
EDIT: BTW the icon which is figured on the file is assigned when I told to SO open the file with an exe file I have created. And in that exe file there is no the icon that is on the file. Just, I guess, OS (Vista) have crated the icon of the file by takeing the icon of exe file and bu "putting" that on a white paper. SO I want to get this icon.
What about for Vista? – Narek – 2010-07-26T20:02:52.173
Vista OS Icon Location: C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll – djshortbus – 2010-07-26T20:31:03.870
"Finally, click 'Change icon' in the window that appears and it will show you the path to the file's icon." I meant where to find to path of the current icon in Vista? – Narek – 2010-07-27T06:45:20.657

Vista does not offer extensive file type configuration like XP, unfortunately. To retrieve the icon location of a specific filetype you need to access the registry.

as an aside, if you then wanted to change the icon, you could use something like http://www.botproductions.com/iconview/iconview.html to find an icon you would like to use.
