How do you get the icons out of shell32.dll?

Solution 1:

If anyone is seeking an easy way, just use 7zip to unzip the shell32.dll and look for the folder .src/ICON/

Solution 2:

In Visual Studio, choose "File Open..." then "File...". Then pick the Shell32.dll. A folder tree should be opened, and you will find the icons in the "Icon" folder.

To save an Icon, you can right-click on the icon in the folder tree and choose "Export".
