Mike: I tried the link that you suggested. I didn't have a subscription to that website, so I 'bought' the solution I needed. Now I just need to figure out how it works. Thanks for your interest. On another note, I know this isn't the proper forum for this subject, and maybe someone could...

Hi: I've been using the SHGetFileInfo API function to obtain file-type specific information on various files. I've extracted the file description text without problem. This function also returns the associated file-type icon as an icon handle (hIcon). I would like to add selected icons to an...

I just remembered I built a computerized phone dialer as a project in college. I should be able to extract decent phone codes directly from there. Anyways, thanks for all your help. I'll let you know if I get the thing working.
