Network Icon

There is a nice range of icons for windows 7, but there were a few that I really liked in windows vista ultimate that I don't seem to be able to find.

One of which that I can remember is the network icon, in vista you could right click, change icon... and I remember being able to select an network icon that was like two monitors stacked on top of each other creating 4 montiors total, and at the bottom was just like any other vista-windows 7 network icon, a connector tube.

I am unable to find this icon to change the desktop icon for "network" in windows 7, does anyone know the icon I am talking about, and any way to download or obtain it in some other way to use?

Thanks.

Cool. Can you make me a nice glass orb with that one? I have some more USMC videos I want to post. Just kidding...

It is only reasonable that Mr. Grim would know where that icon was.

How's this? :p

That's true but that one is only 48x48, where as the one I mentioned is 256x256.

This is it's largest scalable size.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

I usually don't toggle with icons all that often, but I always liked that one in vista, the regular network icon is a bit dull for my tastes.

I dont sift through sys32 all that often for icons, but as I recall that one was under the regular imagres.dll in vista ultimate?.

Any reason for the move in folder, or was it just invisible for some reason in imageres...? Supposing the just separated out what they could to save browsing space?
