  yeah, but that works only in explorer, so probably it's just an 
hidden hook...

  OS X does a similar thing, but the icon is present, beside the window 
title, only when it is actually useful. the finder, TextEdit and MS 
Office have the icon and manipulatin that icon is actully the same 
thing as manipulating the file icon (dragging it to a different 
directory moves the file, for example).
