The IconsExtract utility scans the files and folders on your computer, and Extract the icons and Cursors stored in EXE, DLL, OCX, CPL, and in other file types. You can save the extracted icons to ICO files (or CUR files for cursors), or copy the image of a single icon into the clipboard.
Using the IconsExtract utility
This utility is a standalone executable, and it doesn't require any installation process or additional DLLs. Just run the executable (iconsext.exe) and start using it.
Immediately after you run this utility, the 'Search For Icons' dialog box will be appeared. In this window, you should select the files or folders that you want to scan, and the resource types you want to find (icons, cursors, or both). You can also filter unneeded icons and get only icons that contains images with specific size and number of colors.
You have 2 main search options:
1.Select only single file. For example: C:/WINNT/System32/shell32.dll
You can manually type the filename in the text-box, or Select It from a dialog box by clicking the 'Browse Files' button.
2.Select multiple FileNames by using wildcard characters (? and *).
You can select the folder that you want to scan by clicking the 'Browse Folders' button. If you check the 'Search Subfolders' check-box, all the subfolders of the main folder will be scanned also. For example: if you type 'c:/*.*' in the filename text-box, and check the 'Search Subfolders' option, the IconsExtract utility will search for icons in all folders and files of your "C:" drive.
