Improve the quality and accuracy of icon's fileextension attribute resolution (Icon::ResolveFileExtensionIcon()) #167

Closed end2endzone closed 2 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. On a Win10 system, the file extension "html" resolves the icon to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe, -17. For my system, this is highly inaccurate since I do have Google Chrome installed as the default browser.

Describe the solution you'd like The default icon should resolve to C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe, 0. Another way of putting it, would be to get the same icon as you do with File Explorer when you create a blank file with file extension. You want to get the same icon as the file.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Note that file E:\Temp\tmp.html must exists on system for the resolution to be successful.
