<p>This plugin allows you to list attached files on posts.  It comes with a default<br />
icon set (by famfamfam), with icons for most major files types.  You can add<br />
your own icons, as well as control many aspects of the file list (whether you<br />
want to show icons, whether to add the lists to exerpts, place them on all posts,<br />
show them on category pages, etc).</p>


Attachment Manager

This will allow you to better manage how your attachments are handled.  Attachments can be easily listed after posts, complete with icons.
