Hi All,
sorry for the OT, this is probably a Windows/Python question
instead of a wxPython one, but I know that some of the regular posters
are Windows gurus and I'd like to ask for some advice.
In one of my applications, I store certain files (with the extension
.DATA) using a database, and I would like to change the icon of these
files in Windows Explorer (not the entire icon, I'd like just to add a
small image over the original Windows Explorer icon to signal that
this particular file is present in the database). The problem is,
there are many other DATA file which are not stored in the database
(because they are less relevant to our work) and I'd like to leave
those files icons untouched. Something akin what
TortoiseCVS/TortoiseSVN do: they add a small image over the original
file icon to signal if they are up-to-date, modified, etc...
Does anyone know if this is possible and how?
Thank you for your suggestions.
Andrea.

Hi Andrea,
one solution had been discussed on the pywin32 Ml recently. Look at http://www.mail-archive.com/python-win32@python.org/msg03932.html
unfortunal it doesn't work see:
Re: [python-win32] overlay icons handler freezes file dialog
Mark Hammond has announced a new release of pywin32 soon after his two weeks vacation and since he knows about the problem chances are really good that the new release solves the remaining problem.

Thanks to everybody for your suggestions. I am going to try Mike-s
suggestiosn although it looks like it might not work, as Jurgen
said... otherwise I will wait for a fix in win32all 
Thank you very much.

Hi Andrea,
I'm to busy to investigate further, but I would go for two directions:
1) I would look at the mercurial site to figure out, if they had found a workaround for the problem
2) I would try to switch from win32api to comtypes
