Why standard icons are wrongly displayed in panels?

Post by *Remigho »

Hello everybody,

I'm afraid my question is very silly, but I didn't find the answer.
The standard ico files are not displayed in panels so to be viewed as they appeared in .exe files. Maybe my configuration is wrong.
I work rather often with icon files. Could anybody enlighten me?

Thank you.
Best regards,
Remigho

Does Explorer show icons? Maybe like some application owns icon file type?

Check your settings at: Configuration - Options - Display - Icons
You may use one of the "All associated" options

Yes, indeed, Explorer perfectly show icons.

Yes, I activate the second one; I've tried all the combinations.
Take a look at this link: goo.gl/TRKf3X (with copy-paste, interface doesn't allow me to insert a link)

From where is this icon? From TC itself? There is no Windows file association at all for .ico files.

Thank you for your little help.

Actually there should be a registered type in Windows registry. By default .ico is associated with type icofile which has DefaultIcon set to %1 (i.e. file itself):

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ico]
@="icofile"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofile\DefaultIcon]
@="%1"
I see ICO icons in TC only with setting 'All+'.

Ok, MVV, I set these values correctly.

It's yet better: the right icons appear know, but only with the first display option activated: All associated EXE + LNK. I'm soon able to work properly so.
However, if the first option All associated is checked, the same strange icons remain. I don't understand this behaviour. Maybe you could explain me? If not, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, большое спасибо!
