ShellNew Icon for "." File Type
Try this, works like magic.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.]
@="emptyFile"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.\ShellNew]
"NullFile"=""
@="Empty File"
"ItemName"=""
"IconPath"="C:\\windows\\system32\\imageres.dll,2"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.\ShellNew\Config]
"NoExtension"=""
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\emptyFile]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\emptyFile]
@="Empty File"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\emptyFile\DefaultIcon]
@="%SystemRoot%\\system32\\imageres.dll,2"
Only change. I added a IconPath at the .ext level. File type associations are amazing stuff!
