I googled this interesting thing, but we still need the paths to icons:

i would rather not touch the registry and used... specific tools made for managing file extenstion..

assoc  &   ftype

to find the file type associted with extenstion type


>assoc  .doc
it will return...
>.doc=Word.Document.8

now type
>ftype Word.Document.8
to find the associated program...
Word.Document.8="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE" /n /dde

you can change the association, by
ftype Word.Document.8= "%1"

here "%1" refers to file itself.

I think it could be possible. We already have Windows features that we don't present on other platforms.
We can recreate it from Windows registry somehow.
But I guess that's not so simple - eg:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.xml\OpenWithList
It does not show where the browser.exe is and what is its icon and what parameters it needs.

What about OS X or Linux? FRD is a multi-platform application.

Put a open with in the right menu linked with the same programs that opens the type of file selected shown in win explorer or whatever.
