Could refresh apps icons also pickup *.com files?

I recently had to help someone that had some malware installed on his computer. This malware also prohibbited the execution of *.exe files. To solve this I had to download rkill.com. Now I wanted to add the rkill.com in the portableapps tree structure. But when I do a "refresh apps icons" only *.exe files are added but not the *.com files.

Could anyone please tell me what to do about it? Is itrealy not possible or have I missed someting?

Not Planned

As .com files are for the most part long dead, and mostly used by malware these days, we have no plans to automatically handle them. Having it in the platform would not have helped you in this case as, if you prevented from running EXE files on this PC, the platform wouldn't have started in the first place. So, the situation in which rkill.com would be handy, you can't use the platform anyway.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
