File Icons

[LoneRanger123]

I want to create an explorer type window, using TListView (thats the right control as far as I know). How can I get the default icons for each file and display them? is there any list, eg the registry, im not sure about this, any pointers / help appreciated . Thats all I have to go on, I know its not much, I think if I could find out a path to the icon for a file I could do it from there

All you need is stored in registry
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/CLASSES"
read "DefaultIcon" key

How do I search the registry? is there a component, or do I have to open it as a file and search?

I saw your question earlier and knew I had seen the code for what you wanted somewhere, but I wasn't able to find it until now. here's the link, for what it's worth!
