Sorry, but this is OS specific. Not all OSes support icons based on file 
extensions. Under Windows you have to make a series of registry calls to 
determine what the file's icon is and where to load it from. Registry 
content is OS specific. Linux/Unix don't need extensions at all, but read 
the file's header to see what to do. There is a concept of file type 
extension icons in Linux, but this is local to whatever desktop manager 
you are running (KDE, Gnome, etc.)
