Hi

Right, that's what I thought too, I could see the icon next to the file 
type, so I'm confused about why, when I open the directory, the icons 
don't appear there.
I've set NoteTab Light's icon to appear on text files.  But in the 
directory with the text files, there's a plain generic icon next to the 
file names.
I thought that maybe I'd configured the icon size too small in general 
Desktop settings, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  At 35 points 
the icons still don't appear in the directories.
I'll re-check NoteTab's .dll, maybe there's a better icon to use.  I'll 
toy with those.  Meanwhile, hopefully someone has a better idea for how 
to get those icons to appear.
