Why GnuPG encrypted file has no icon?

[Rohit P]

I am using Windows 7. Icons are there on all files. What I actually meant is when a file is encrypted with GnuPG, the resultant .pgp file has no icon.

I don't know which operating system you are using here, but icons are usually set for files that have known data types or file extensions.  It has to do with your operating system or desktop environment not GnuPG.  Apparently your operating system (probably Windows) does not have icons assigned for these types of files.

Hope that is helpful.
