Display of icons in TC

Display of icons in TC
I remeber that sometimes TC displayed the icons in the filelist themself and not the icon of the associated program.
Does anyone know how to configure that - or was it just in my dreams ?

Strange, odd, weird ! That you show on your capture seems abnormal, since you have the icon of the associated program (IrfanView) for some icons, and a thumbnail of the icon itself for others !
- I just tested "All associated+EXE/LNK…" under Win 98 SE, but something goes wrong, since I get only the associated file-type icon for all, like with the option "All".
- I guess that I might get a thumnail of the real pic for each icon, but that no longer works…
I'll test under XP-Pro, and will tell you what happens.
EDIT :
- The same under XP-Pro, only the icon of the file-type.
- I get the EXE-icons and LNK too, but impossible to see that you shown - but yet, I saw that too sometimes - !
- The same in Explorer, and in the "Open…" dialog-boxes of Windows : only the *.ico file type icon !
- I tested the entry ShellExtIcons=1 in <wincmd.ini> in the case…, but it makes only that the system-folders get the Windows-shell icon instead the TC-one. Maybe a program has changed an entry in the Register ? We need the Register-Expert (Helloooo, Jeff ?)

Re: Odd !
This picture is a fake to show how I remember it was. But since nobody else seems to know how to configure TC to show icons like this it may be a fantasy of mine
Thanks for your tests anyway.

Please, read the EDIT above, you didn't dream, I saw something like this too : for icons, the thumbnail of each real icon-pic.
The mystery darkens…

Maybe it's an plugin I had once installed (or another one that preventas it now). I guess in this case could Hacker be the one who could clarify something....
Roman please.....

Hi Roman !
¤ At home, *.ico has been always associated with a program, but I saw that Stefan tells…
* How to get both ? I mean: associated and icon-thumbnail ?

So it seem about time to reinstall XP.
I removed the association of *.ico and neither in TC nor in explorer are the own icons are shown.
