[Qt-interest] setting icons for files

[Ben Swerts]

Hi,

AFAIK, this is done by Windows when a certain filetype (extension) is
associated with an application. All files with this extension will then get
the icon of the associated application. I don't think you can specify an
icon per file, but it is possible for directories.
Anyway, this isn't related to Qt so I suggest you google around for 'file
type associations' and the like.

Greets,

	Ben
