Which doesn't really help the guy. You need to configure DefIcons to
recognise the file type. This can be something as simple as recognising the
filename extension (.jpg) to reading the file for "give away" details (e.g.
??????JFIF). It really comes down to how much you know, and how much you
can do.
Having said that, Dopus and Dopus Magellan is the best option.
