    Hi, Windows explorer uses soem icons(bitmaps) for folder, New Folder, Delete etc. Are those standard icons? Can we use same icons in my application? If yes what are the ID's of those icon? Can I load them using LoadResource(), or LoadBitmap() function? Regards, Hemant

      some programs like "irfanview" can load icons of apps. simply drag the app into irfan view and you get the icon. search your windows and windows\system folder for *.dll they should be contained in some

        Alot of similar icons/bitmaps are included with Visual Studio. You can also open any exe or dll in visual studio and copy resources right to your projects. Whether it's legal to use them or not, I'd say it's not legal without permission. At the same time, Microsoft wants us to have consistent user interfaces :) I'm not a lawyer...you're on your own there. Mark

          The shell32.dll is one of them, I believe. This contains a lot of major ones, although others are in other places.
