I Need Help With A Few Things.

[TheCloudOfSmoke]

1. Is there a program that can tell you whether a Sega Genesis rom is either in bin or smd format? The reason that I want to know is because I want to do some rom hacking and I want to make sure that particular roms are actually in bin format and not just renamed to a smd extension. GoodGen doesn't rename roms to the correct extension, it just leaves the extension the same.

2. Is there a way to direct to the root of a drive without using a drive letter? I plan on using custom icons for folders that I plan to put on a CD with the help of the desktop.ini file. Problem is that the icons have to be in a sub-directory of the folder that I want to use the icon with in order for the icon to show up on the folder unless I specify a drive letter and the path leading to my icon folder.

The folders I want to change the icons for are:

:\Stuff\Music\
:\Videos\

and the icon folder is:

:\Icons\

I want to be able to direct the ini to the root of the CD (without using a drive letter) and then to the folder with the icons. I don't want to have to resort to using the "D:\Icons\" because I might be using a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive that has a different drive letter other than D:. Of course I could put the icons in the music and video folders but I like to keep the icons contained all in one folder away from the other folders. I'm looking for something that I can put in like "%SystemRoot%\" but something else that would work for CDs or whatever drive that the files are being run on.

3. Is there a program that will allow you to assign zip files in particular folders to certain programs? The reason why I want to know is because when I double-click on a zip file, it opens with a zip program (obviously ). I want to assign zip files in my Genesis folder to open with Kega and I want to assign zip files in my NES folder to open with Nestopia and so on.

Hopefully someone can help me with these things. Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated.
