Icon overlays are small images placed at the lower-left corner of the icon that represents a Shell object. They are normally added to an object's icon to provide some extra information. For instance, a commonly used icon overlay is the small arrow that indicates that the icon represents a link, rather than the actual file or folder. In addition to the standard icon overlays that are provided by the system, you can request custom icon overlays for specified Shell objects by implementing and registering an icon overlay handler.

Note   The number of different icon overlay handlers that the system can support is limited by the amount of space available for icon overlays in the system image list. There are currently fifteen slots allotted for icon overlays, some of which are reserved by the system. For this reason, icon overlay handlers should be implemented only if there are no satisfactory alternatives.
