Hi all, <br>
imagine a JLabel that is a DropTarget.<br>
When dragging a file from the Explorer into that JLabel I want to show the the icon that is associated with the extension.<br>
How can I find out this icon? <br>
Do I have to search in the registry?? <br><br>
Thanks for any hint <br><br>
Regards <br>
Martin

Hello Martin,

Unfortunately, that makes sense to dig the Window's registry to get icon file associations: that's actually the place where Windows store it ! :-)

For managing registry, I suggest you this light, clear and free package: http://www.bayequities.com/tech/Products/jreg_key.shtml
