There has been a time or two when I’ve wanted to use an icon from shell32.dll or imageres.dll for my own purposes. But for some reason I was under the impression it was a huge pain in the ass to extract them. Not the case, as it turns out. So I spent a few hours building a little tool for doing just that. Now I can just select the file containing the icon(s) I want, double click the icon image, and poof! it’s saved on my desktop. You can download the ready-to-go executable here. If you want to tweek the code, you can download the entire solution here. The underlying IconExtractor class also allows you to get 16×16 icons and extract icons by index location within its source file. You can get the index location by hovering your mouse over the icon.
