Where are my icons in Windows 7?
In previous versions of Windows when I right click on a shortcut and dived in to change the icon the initial list populated with a whole catalog of default icons.
On Windows 7 (RTM) here is what I see:
I found those icons useful when making shortcuts to web applications.
Any idea where I can find them?! I had a little "Browse..." but couldn't find much.
Edit:
You've all so far provided excellent answers, thanks - unfortunately I can't pick you all as the right one! :( Three of the files you mentioned have had equally useful sets of DLLs:
%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll
%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
%SystemRoot%\system32\DDORes.dll
%SystemRoot%\System32\moricons.dll (MS DOS Icons)
Solution 1:
In the box that says “Look for icons in this file:”, type or browse to:
%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
Solution 2:
The can be all over the place. For example, browse to this location ...
C:\Windows\system32\imageres.dll
But, they can be in any DLL, EXE or ICO file. You can also download cool ones.
