What library file (.dll) contains the icon file types for Adobe apps? (ie. .psd, .ai, .idd)

I want to change the icon files because currently the icon files are exactly the same that the app icon.

    The icon are embedded into the .exe file.

     

    …  currently the icon files are exactly the same that the app icon

     

    That’s the normal behavior in Windows. The files get the same icon as the associated application.

    To change this you’ve to change the appropriate registry keys.
