| | Hello Stoj, They are located in the CLSID keys in the registry. The tutorial below is for Vista, but the method is the same with the icons that have the same name. I need to get started on a separate one for Windows 7 soon to have the different names listed as well. Removed link, use the one below instead.  Hope this helps, Shawn Last edited by Brink; 02 Sep 2009 at 07:08 AM.. |

I haven't tried with that particular program but as it's free I thought it would be worth a shot, I actually have Axialis IconWorkshop and that method works for me when I want turn the ico into a png. |

You can also use the free program IconViewer to add a Icons tabs to files that contain a icon library in them. Most of Windows 7 icons are in the "C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll" file. You can open it's properties and click on the new Icons tab to select a icon and save it as either a .ico, .bmp., or .png. You can then easily convert say a .bmp to a .jpg in Paint ("C:\Windows\system32\mspaint.exe"). Last edited by Brink; 03 Sep 2009 at 12:00 AM.. Reason: typo |
