Windows Xp And Office Icons

[webgyrl]

I was wondering if anyone here knows where I would find program icons.

 

I actually need icons for Word and Adobe PDF to use for graphics for a site I am doing where there are Word Document and PDF downloads. I figured it would be best to find the icons already on my system for those programs and use them.

 

I figured they might be in the Program folder, but I can't find them!

 

Anyone know where they would be in my system?

 

Thanks,

Nat

Program icons come in several ways, they can be a single file (.ico, .icn) or they can be imbedded in the executable program (.exe, .dll). You can search for the .ico to find what icon files are on your system. There are also programs out there that will strip the icon out of executables and create a single icon file for you. I don't know the names of these programs off the top of my head, I have not used them since Windows 95 but I am sure they are still out there. I would suggest you search download.com for them.

Couldnt you just search for the icon or image on the web?

 

I found the following in two minutes that way.

LOL I looked for "microsoft word icon" and all I got were sites that gave instructions on 'how to click' on the icon to start a microsoft word document.

 

What search term(s) did you use Rob?

 

I did end up getting a program that extracts icons from the dll or exe files. I just can't figure out how to convert them to a gif or jpg file from the ico file.

 

I was looking for the 32x32 icons that were hopefully on transparent backgrounds specifically... but those ones you found will work!

 

I just wish they weren't on white backgrounds... just doesn't look quite right.

Nat,

 

I searched for "Microsoft Word icon" and used Googles Image search till I found them.

Ok well I think I did it.

 

I got an icon extraction program and then I found this nifty little converter called "Icon To Any" by aha-soft and it seems to have done the trick!

 

I think I have to improve my Googling skills tho...

Ah Ok.. duh I didn't use the Google Image search, just the regular web search. How very blonde of me.

 

Sorry
