Hi Torsten,

The scenario you pointed out doesn't work though. The icon changes to an
application picture as soon as you alter an extension, at least in XP and
2000. I haven't tried it in older versions of Windows though.

This is highly recommended anyway. Noone with brain for 0.02$ would open
e.g. a mail attachment with the filename "nicepicture.jpg.exe" although
it has a "JPEG" icon. But no imagine the file with Windoze hiding the
extension... ;-)
