Add missing file icons for Win Vista, 7 & 8 (Setup file)

by Nils Eikelenboom · in Torque 3D Professional · 08/25/2013 (10:46 am) · 7 replies

A default Windows and Torque 3D installation doesn't include all the icons for the types of files being used by Torque 3D. I made a bunch of icon files and would like to share with those who are interested.

OS: Windows Vista, 7 & 8 - 32 & 64 bit.
Files: .cs, .dae, .dts, .gui and .prefab

[ Download installation file ] (.exe / 303kB)

or a zip file (.zip / 156kB) if you want to do this manually.

Everything is at your own risk. I cannot be held responsible for any changes / damage to your system.

Edit 26-8-2013: Installation program now fully automatic, absolute paths removed. Thanks to @Lukas for providing a batch file.

This is great! Thanks!
Edit: you could create a bat that creates the reg files automatically for the current folder.

I could, but on the other hand for those who don't like the folder created over there could use this free application to add the icons by hand:

FileTypesMan

Edit; I first thought of %systemroot% or other vars as path, but in the end it's all same.

I decided to create a bat file which outputs a .reg file that matches whatever folder you put the icons in.

@Lukas; In that case have I updated the files (and thread post). You can now setup in whatever location you want it. The .reg file should be opened automatically. Thanks for your input!

Let me know if anybody runs into issues.

If somebody uses this on Win 8 let us know how that went :)

Some may experience issues with the .dts extension due to a VLC player installation. In that case if you still want the icon changed, try:

regedit.exe > Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VLC.dts\DefaultIcon

and change the [value] to the path of the icon file.
