MS Windows directory display window is able to show a distinctive icon
for each file type -- in the case of Ada source files, it (should be)
a portrait of Mme Ada.
I have somehow misplaced those icons. (But not completely lost them;
files with extension *.ada still show a proper portrait icon)
I know how to assign an icon to a file (using "view : folder options
..." menu). But I can't find the file that has the Lady Ada portrait.
Can someone please tell me how to find those icons? (I search the
"usual places" for files of type *.ico without result).
Thx
John

John,
I'm guessing those icons came with some Ada specific application you
installed. Take a look for same in "program files". You could also take
a look at the "file types" tab in the explorer tools(?) to see if the icon
can be set where the file type is defined.

Failing that, I have a couple of .ico files I jimmied up (in a hurry!) that
I'd be happy to e-mail to you, if you wish.

Why not let Windows find them by searching whole PC (or particular drive if
you are sure that the files must be there) ?
Start | Search | For Files or Folders
and type *.ico (or full file name if you know it) in box under
"Search for files or folders names.

Pretend you're going to change the icon for *.ada file. This will let
you see where it's getting the icon for those. You can then cancel that
operation and use the same file for the icon for *.ad[bs] files.

In my machine, they are part of a GNAT installation:
...\gnat\bin\gnaticons.dll
Hope it helps,

They are just as likely to be in a .dll or .exe

We have a winner!
Thanks, Manuel.
This turned out to be a little bit non-trivial (for me, at least)
because
1) the icon is NOT in a file *.ico, so searching was non-productive,
and
2) the file gnaticons.dll was "hidden", so I had to un-check some
option somewhere before it appeared.
Now my spec's and bodies are all properly pictured.
