I'm creating OnLine File Management System and it will be pretty much like Windows Explorer. In short, I want to allow people in my company to be able to manage files on our server. So, for every folder there's a list of files and subfolders and they can delete, rename, upload... them. Nothing complicated.
One of the things I'd like to do is to present the icon together with other details (name, extension, size...).

My question:
Is there a way to present system icons on a page? I suppose not but I wanted to be sure.

You've probably considered this already, but just in case:

Provided the drive is mapped, you could make a link to the Physical path to a shared folder/dirctory on the Server which would open the folder in Windows Explorer view.

<a href="X:\">View Files"</a>

Where X: is the mapped directory \\ServerName\SharedDirectory

Some users can only read files, others have full permissions, statistics... So, I ended up creating everything with ASP and FileSystemObject. Everything's fine and I don't have any real problem, except displaying file icons. It's not something I can't live without, but it would be nice. I know that I can upload gifs for every file type (ZIP, HTML, MDB...) but it's time consuming.

Thanks!
They're successfully displaying icons for each file type and that's what I need. I'll take a closer look ASAP.
Except that, I've finished it completely. It was easier then I tought.
