All your text belongs to Vim


How to have your txt file icons associated to vim icon.
- Go to Control Panel
- Open Folder Options and File Types Tab
- Under the Registered File Types click on TXT.
Now, before changing the program from NotePad to Vim.
Click on Advanced. ( If you don't have Advanced, wherein you have already changed the default program, click restore and then you get the advanced)
In the Edit File Type Dialog box. Click Change Icon and browse to gvim.exe or vim.exe in your installation. There you get the standard vim icons. Associate them and then carry on changing the default program from notepad to the sweetest vim.

btw, I am searching for this icon for association and unable to find as to which file contains this.

When did you last use windows ? :)
Well, what I discovered recently was, with gvim under windows, you can still get feel of basic shell commands like !cd !pwd etc.digging more.
