GetAssociatedIconKey

This function returns a 'unique' key for the icon associated with the specified file name.
This key can then be used to uniquely identify an icon to be added to an imagelist.

GetAssociatedIconKey used the following method to construct the key :
- If the specified file contains an icon, the function returns the filename itself.
- Otherwise the type of the file (or folder) is returned as " *.<type of file/folder>".
- If the specified file/folder does not exist, the string " *.[Unknown]" is returned.
