Where Is the Icon Representing .gif Files?

T

TC

On my computer, Windows uses a specific icon to represent .gif files.
I'd like to know where that icon comes from. I've looked in the .dll
files which supposedly contain most system icons, but it is not there.
Does anyone know where I can find the icon Windows XP uses to represent
..gif files?

It's most likely the icon of the program that's associated with JPGs.
That's the program that opens when you double-click one of those
files.

Figured, I looked on mine. ;) Thanks for the confirmation though.
