We get nice icons as visual feedback for a type of file such as a word
document or an xml file for example but not for other file types. Is it
possible to change the registry somewhere to display an icon for a specific
file type like an .rss file for example?
 
Thanks. I discovered the following works perfectly and explains how to
associate the .rss file type with .xml file type...

c:\windows\system32\assoc /?
 
After running assoc to associate the .rss file with the default icon for an
..xml file a new MIME Type must be created for the .rss file type if the .rss
file is to be served by IIS7...

c:\windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd set config /section:staticContent
/+[fileExtension='.rss' .mimeType='text/xml']
