Assigning an icon for extensionless files in the "New" menu

A while back, I discovered an interesting Super User question that asked how to set the icon for extensionless files in the "New" submenu of a folder's context menu. The poster had added an option to create a new extensionless file, but its icon in the New menu was the C drive's icon. The normal way to set the icon that works for files with extensions did not work in this case.

I was unable to answer, so I added a small bounty to the question. With just two hours left before the deadline, somebody answered. Apparently, there's a different icon path setting that works for all entries, IconPath under the extension's ShellNew.

Get the full .reg file at the answer.
