Modify the Windows registry to assign an icon to `.xdi` files.
30+
31+
**PLEASE NOTE:**
32+
33+
This works, but is currently an imperfect solution. The
34+
location of the icon is hard wired in the registry file.
35+
Thus, the registry file must currently be edited by hand to
36+
point to the correct location of the icon file.
37+
38+
A script that installed the icon file to a suitable
39+
location, modifies the registry file, then runs the regsitry
40+
edit would be a welcome contribution!
