Making Explorer to display icons of 16-bit programs Sept 11, 2023 13:07:10 GMT -8

Using Winevdm is is possible to run 16-bit software, but Explorer cannot extract icons from 16-bit executables.

This program if put into autostart allows Explorer to show icons of 16-bit executables:

Only downside is it only works for Explorer and not third party file managers.
