where is the folder for icons located? > where is the folder for icons located? I guess we need to know what icons you're looking for. An icon for MS word is in the word.exe file itself. Most executables are that way now. Shortcuts can be made to point to an .ico file in the application if the developer wants to. Explain yourself a bit more if this is not enough. >> where is the folder for icons located? > I guess we need to know what icons you're looking for.

The software writer puts them in the .exe. Firefoxbrowser for one makes about 3 versions of the icon so you can pick one of those. Windows has a library of them in a file C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.dll, that has some. And you can download on the web any .ico file. You can even download free editors to make your own. ICOFX for one. There is no folder. The system icon are located here: %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll I you want more icons place icon files (.ico) on a folder then browse to that folder. You can search for icons via google: http://www.freeiconsweb.com/Vista_Style_Transport_Icon_Set.html  SignatureRey > where is the folder for icons located? > The system icon are located here: %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll > I you want more icons place icon files (.ico) on a folder then browse to > that folder.

This is one of the hits. http://www.rw-designer.com/icon-library It seems to have a great set of icons. And if you type in 'icon grab' you will find programs that will allow you to grab and extract a single icon from a dll file. Not that you have to, but some people wish to grab a single icon, then edit it to tweak it for their own use. You can't directly edit a dll icon, or not that I know. http://www.download3k.com/Photo-Graphic/Font-Icon-Tools/Download-TM-Icon-Extract or.html This is just one of them. >> The system icon are located here: %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll >> I you want more icons place icon files (.ico) on a folder then browse to [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > http://www.download3k.com/Photo-Graphic/Font-Icon-Tools/Download-TM-Icon-Extract or.html > This is just one of them. thanks for your valuable help. > The system icon are located here: %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll > I you want more icons place icon files (.ico) on a folder then browse to > that folder.
