Cheers for the offer...
As you've said, the default icon is basically determined by the first icon 
that the OS comes across - i really need to mimic this...

As for your second point, I'll only ever have programs in my listing so 
there will never be a need to display any file associations.

I'll stick a demo app on the .attachments group if you want to have a look.

Best regards, Mike
