Hi folks,
I've been asked whether it is possible to have our own file type that
can contain an image, and have thumbnails of the images appear in Windows
Explorer and other file lists when files of our custom type are displayed
in the lists. This would look the same as browsing .ico files, where each
file displays as itself, not a generic icon representing that file type. If
it is possible, I'd like to develop that functionality in our application.
Any help you can give me in understanding how to do this is greatly
appreciated!

Write your own icon handler shell extension and implement IExtractIcon.
