JSI Tip 1509. Replace the Generic DLL icon in Explorer.

When you browse a folder in explorer, all .DLL files are displayed with a generic icon.

To cause explorer to use an icon embedded in the .DLL files, if there is one, use Regedt32 to navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\dllfile\DefaultIcon

Change the string of the <No Name> value, a type REG_EXPAND_SZ,

        from

"%SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll,-154"

        to

"%1"
