    Question question about filenames

    My program reads and writes external files which I have coded .mf files (mf stands for My Files). In windows explorer the files appear with a drab logo, does anyone know how to change the logo?

    Also, is there anyway of making a filename of what the user inputs? The code currently is ->
    mf = fopen("save.mf", "w+b");

    I have tried -> mf = fopen(name.mf, "w+b"); and slight variations but I can't seem to crack it

    To change the icon associated with a file:
    go to my computer -> view -> folder options -> file types
    and set it up.
    If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to see it, do the other trees make fun of it?

    What I actually meant was how do I make the Icons in my program so they come up on another computer that is running my program?
    Sorry about the confusion.
