When you browse a folder in explorer, all .DLL files are displayed with a generic icon.
To cause explorer to use an icon embedded in the .DLL files, if there is one, use Regedt32 to navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesdllfileDefaultIcon
Change the string of the value, a type REG_EXPAND_SZ,
from
"%SystemRoot%System32shell32.dll,-154"
to
"%1"
