loading all filetype images into a hashtable

[Bernie Yaeger]

I would like to recreate an owner drawn listview to contain all of the file
association icons that you see, say, when you attach a file in Outlook
Express. In other words, I'd like to load all file association images and
the corresponding extensions into a hashtable or a two dim array; I would
then use the key - value pairs when the user selects an attachment file for
my own owner drawn listview, based on the extension of the file selected,
thus displaying the file type icon and the name of the file.

Thanks for any help.
