hello
i am wondering where i can find these extensions(i try to search but nothing) png ,gif,inf,ini,mid,mpg,asf in wich files (dll or exe?) and for your help .
Full Version: png ,gif,inf,ini,mid,mpg,asf?
Those extensions are very common filetypes. They are not found in exes or dlls.
png and gif are usually images.
inf and ini are usually text files.
mid is usually a midi sequence.
mpg and asf are usually videos or sometimes audio.
It is not clear what you exactly mean BTW.

OK Understood.
Best tool for doing that IMO is WAssociate, a context menu management utility.
Once you have installed it, you can create a shortcut to it in the sendto folder (I am not sure it does it itself) and after that you can just right-click on any file and send it to that application.
You'll see there is an icon button on it's GUI, click on it and browse to the new icon of your choice for the filetype you edit.
After doing that you may need to refresh the icons with an extra tool to see immediately the change in explorer.
That's the easier/fastest way to do it.
But you can also go in Control Panel / Folder Options / File Types in Windows and select an extension, click on the Advanced tab and change the icon. (That's on WinME, it may differ a bit on the OS you have)
Does this answer your question ?

not at all by this way you can change the icons in your windows already instaled but not in unattended cd i guess its not the same way? and thank you .
You should make an effort when you post questions really.
Well if you want to change filetypes icons in an unnatended CD I guess you must include the new icons you want and a registry file containing their paths.
Read the WAssociate doc, it'll get you acquainted as to how file extensions (and their icons) are managed in Windows.
Without gaining understanding about that, it'll be very hard if not impossible to manage what you want to do.
As well it is a better/faster tool than Regedit to find where the icons locations are specified.
I forgot to mention that it is simply a specialized registry editor dealing only with the context menu and that you can copy the tree views to text files in regedit format where you will be able to read where the extensions and their icons are located in the registry (locations which may vary according to your setup).
Still the best tool I know to prepare for the replacing of filetypes icons in an unattended CD.
