Icons in dired mode for Emacs

I would like to use the dired mode of emacs as my file browser. I am very much addicted to see an icon for file/folder rather that to see the extension and color. The icons give me a very quick visual feedback. I have searched the web for display of icons in dired but found none. So I wonder whether it is even possible to do this and if yes how?

To put my question clearly

How can I display icons for files and folders in dired mode of Emacs?

+3  A: 

If you are using Windows, you can try dired-dispicon.el. Get the relevant files from here. See http://wiki.gohome.org/teranisi/?EmacsOnWindows for what it looks like. Note that you will probably need a version of emacs that supports images (e.g. for Windows you could try EmacsW32).

I did find this, but seems to be working on EmacsW32 and not NTEmacs. I basically want this behavior for accessing files on a Linux server. I intend to connect to the Linux server, open emacs to do most of the things. I don't want a separate file browser to be opened this way. On Windows, I am ok with default File Browser (Explorer).

This is close enough answer. Although I am using Xfe for Linux File browsing.
