Hi Roger,
Thanks for the info - I was actually interested in custom
per file thumbnails rather than icons, but your message sentt me
pouring through seemingly relevent parts of the registry - however
what I need isn't there.
Turns out I need to use a .dll shell extension as per
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/
shellcc/platform/shell/programmersguide/shell_int/shell_int_extending/
extensionhandlers/shell_ext.asp
Not so simple, and not (directly) a job for Python.
Thanks,
Chris
