system file icons

hi everyone, does anyone know how to get the images which are used for filetypes associations ? I'd like my file requester to show the icons for system defined file types... but I REALLY don't know how to get that info. note that in the best of cases, a method which is available under view w/o pro license is most appreciated, but if we absolutely need pro (or 'call) then hey, that's life... TIA! -MAx

Hi Max, MOA> does anyone know how to get the images which are used for filetypes associations MOA> ? Under Windows you'd probably need COM access to get at the IExtractIcon interface in the Shell extension system. Since we can't do COM, that method is out. You might be able to do it another way, definitely requiring library access, but it's likely to be a pain and, of course, totally non-portable to boot. -- Gregg

as Icon is generally saved as a resource inside of a dll you can use the res protocol to access it: http://www.google.com/search? hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=res+protocol however using that from rebol is probably not doable.
