JR, A file's icon is in the resource fork of the file (Mac OS 9), a separate .icns resource file (Mac OS X) or in the compiled application resources (Windows), and so it's not really a part of what the file system stores about a file. The OS provides the icon based on its file association (stored in the desktop database in Mac and in the Registry in Windows). Either way, it will require moving resources around to get at the icon.
