This tool extracts icons, which you probably figured out just by looking at its name. Think of it as a crowbar that'll pry those pictures out of files with EXE, DLL, CPL, ICL, CUR, BMP, or SCR extensions. Now, you can use those icons for other images, programs, or shortcuts (if you so desire). The interface is self-explanatory; just click on a folder and the icons will appear. You can then choose to save them as icons or a BMP / JPG image. IconXTractor introduces complete support for Windows XP Icons !

Windows icons let you identify programs or system features at a glance. At most 48 pixels square, they pack a surprising amount of visual information. An icon can be a company logo, a picture of the kind of work the program does, a metaphor for the program's activity, or any image at all. In many parts of Windows you can change the icon used to represent an icon, but where can you find alternatives? Your computer holds a wealth of icons, some embedded in .EXE or .DLL files, others hidden behind obscure names like MISC44.ICO, or TRFFC10A.ICO. IconJack32 can extract icons from DLL and EXE files, and create collections of icons using files from all over your computer. Your collections can point back to the original files, or you can export them to DLLs. IconJack32 is a 32-bit update to the PC Magazine utility, IconJack.

Icons are an absolutely essential part of the Windows GUI (Graphical User Interface). Every program has its own distinctive icon, as do system elements like Recycle Bin and My Computer. Registered document types also have specific icons, so you can recognize them easily in Explorer's listings. However, when you start to personalize your own Windows desktop, you may find that the default icons don't suit you. With IconEdit32, you can modify existing .ICO files as you wish, or create brand-new icons. IconEdit32 is a 32-bit update to the older PC Magazine utility IconEdit, by Michael Mefford. It's a complete rewrite, with no old code retained. Where IconEdit was limited to single-image 32x32 16-color icons, icons created using IconEdit32 can include all valid combinations of size and color depths - up to nine images. Access to the various drawing tools and functions is through IconEdit32's main window.
