    Where does this icon come from? Is there composite icons in Windows?


    Version 1909 Build 18363.657

    If you assign an unknown file-type, say .test, to mspaint.exe using the normal 'open with' dialog. The file takes an icon that is a white page with the mspaint.exe icon in the middle.

    This icon can not be found in mspaint.exe and I've used Nirsoft's IconsExtract, FileTypesMan and ResourceExtract to search for it but have not found this icon.
    Of note is that for image files .bmp, .jpg and .png it shows this icon

    Also not in present mspaint.exe.

    This is why I ask if Windows makes composite icons for certain programs?
    The reason I ask is that I would love to make use of such functionality in my own programs so I only have to include a single icon resource (yes, I'm lazy like that *Wink)

    Thanks for your expert help.

    :)

    Windows vista x64 computer icon always changing

    what icons are you referring to?
    In the Windows Explorer list or desktop?

    Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    GPU-Z Program Icon Submission

    Suggestion to have an option to change Notification Area icon this way too.
    Suggestion to finally have proper separate Options window like most (all?) Windows programs do.
