(Outlook Bonus Icons)
Yesterday we did the PST file, today we will do a little bonus pack to go with
it. In the earlier in the pack we did a Word Document and a bonus pack. This
will be almost exactly the same.
We only have a few more default file types left. We should be wrapping up the
pack over the next week or so. Keep checking in as we get ready to package
the fruits of our labors.
