Ico and cur file associations already has the "%1" defaulticon (The files "own icon"). Ani files should also have the %1 defaulticon.

Could you/someone explain a bit more what "%1" default icon is meant to be?

Hello Helmut

our Finnish compadre is talking about filetypes with icons inside.

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\anifile\DefaultIcon]
@="%1"

I was counting on that Pierre would know exactly what I mean.

This pic will demonstrate the problem with the curren .ani file association:

Thank you for your explanation, ckv. There's some newbie forum users (like me) who don't know about 1% default icons.

Hello !

• That's a feature I can set in Total Commander for *.ICO, *.CUR and *.ANI files. It needed the following registry stuff :

Code: Select all

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico] 
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico] 
@="icofile" 
"PerceivedType"="image" 
"Content Type"="image/x-icon" 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico\PersistentHandler] 
@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}" 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico\UndoClass] 
@="icofile" 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico\shellex] 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico\shellex\{BB2E617C-0920-11D1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}] 


[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile] 
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile] 
@="Ikon" 
"ImageOptionFlags"=dword:00000000 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile\DefaultIcon] 
@="%1"

• It's really pleasant and useful… One gets something like below :
