Different DWG Version Icons in Windows Explorer

[Lisa_Pohlmeyer]

Back in the day, there was an applicaton that showed the drawing version # in the icon in windows explorer.  That was good for then, because of the lack of object data in many of the verticles.  The link I have isn't valid anymore and it didn't work in Win7.  

What I'd like to have is something that will show the different Acad versions related to the icon using the product ID, for example:

ACAD-5xxx = 2007 

ACAD-6xxx = 2008

ACAD-7xxx = 2009

ACAD-8xxx = 2010

ACAD-9xxx = 2011

then in 2012 they changed to Axxx

2013 = Bxxx (???) I dont' have 2013 loaded

2014 = Dxxx (what happened to Cxxx?)

With the lack of backward compatability between versions for objects (and I totally get that), it would be nice to be able to tell by an icon which version was used to create the drawing.  I know the version informaton is stored in the header, which can be read, I'm just not a programmer.  I proposed this idea a while back, but I forget who I talked to, sorry if you're reading this.

Anyone else think this would be useful?

Here is that old app if this helps any.

That's similar to one I've used in the past. Can it be updated?

The website in the readme file is no longer active.

Maybe you could try the email address in there?
