Show Your Library Files Icon

I am often frustrated when I see my .dll files. Because the standard configuration .dll files only represented by only one type of icon. In fact, .dll files can be replaced with the icon of the .dll file itself so that the contents of the .dll files can be represented with the appearance of the icon.

OK, follow these steps:

To see the icon from the standard .dll files you can open it in the system32 folder in the Windows folder (usually located at C:\Windows\system32)
Open Registry Editor, with click Start -> Run menu then type regedit in textbox, press Enter key.
After the Registry Editor is open,

navigate your cursor to registry path: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT | dllfiles | DefaultIcon
Double click the (Default) key that located on right panel.
After Edit String dialog is open, replace the original (%SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll,-154) value

with %1 value and then click OK.
You will see the value that it has changed
Close your Registry Editor and then restart your computer.
Your .dll files icon has changed
And I know the dfrgres.dll has link with defragment utility quickly now.
If you want restore the original setting just replaces, the (Default) key value from %1 to %SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll,-154 and then restart your computer.
