Icon associations

[Sam_Zen]

Since the app Irfan View has several icons in the exe-file, I use this in TC to distinguish different file formats :

Procedure : File - Associate with.. - Edit type - Change icon.
But, from the start of this concept, I sometimes loose this setting on quite irregular moments, and have to redo the procedure.
Of course updating TC or IV would be logical moments, but it also happened in a steady situation, and I haven't been able
to analyze what could be the cause of it yet.
So I wonder : where is the information saved of these associations ? It's not present in wincmd.ini.
But is this a TC thing, is it IV, or is it system thing ?

This should be store in the registry:

Code: Select all

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\filetype\DefaultIcon

The name of the used file type is shown in TC's dialog

File - Associate with.. - Edit type

Thanks. I already feared for the registry, but, so it's a system thing.
At least I could save the proper reg-keys now and reset them in case of a malfunction.
