161709 2003-07-21 04:45:00 Some icons in various programs often appeal to me & I would like to keep them for "re use" on my Desktop. Is there a type of harvester program I can use to collect & store them?If not whats the easiest way to grab them.I already have plenty of the free ones available from variuos sites amyes5 (2773)
161710 2003-07-21 06:46:00 Depending upon what operating system you have, there are plenty of icons stashed in several files that you can use.

Have a look in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\shell32.dll and also Pifmgr.dll. You can also search your computer using using a icon wildcard search. Open up Search and type in *.ico. This will find any icon from installed programs that you can also use.

To replace an desktop icon, right click it and select properties. Look for a change icon button and then browse to where the icon lives and select it.

There are also programs available which allow you to create your own icons. Have a search around tucows etc.
