    Could anyone tell me how to grab a copy of the default Windows icons? I'm looking for Office-related ones. I read that you can use an icon ripping program to extract them out of DLLs and EXE files, but so far I can't find the correct file. Or if there's another way to be able to use them in your own programs (ie. in a toolbar), then I'd love to know. Thanks, Sean

      You can use VS.NET to open the DLL or EXE file, and save the required resource. For this, you need to know which DLL or EXE contains the icon, and you have to save each of the required icons one by one. There are tools that will scan all EXE and DLL files in a folder and save all resources at once. Google!

              Toolbar icons are not icons. I use resource hacker to get the toolbar bitmaps. You'll find it googling. ----------------------- New and improved: kwakkelflap.com My second CP article: MAP files[^] "Hey, Eddie, can I pour you a beer?" "A little early, isn't it, Richy?"

                How to steal toolbar icons from office apps: 1. Open any office program (e.g. word) 2. Right click in the toolbar and select 'Customize' 3. Select 'All Commands' from the list on the left of the dialog (on the commands tab) 4. Find the icon you want in the list on the right 5. Drag it on to a toolbar 6. Right click the icon on the toolbar and select 'Copy Image' 7. Now open your favourite image editor and paste in the image :)

                  System32\shell32.dll has lots of cool system icons. I use a program called Icon Searcher to view/extract them.

                    Now that's what a call a top tip netcletic! I used to use Paint Shop Pro to capture the Customize dialog and then painstakingly cut out the little button image! ;)
