Windows Icons: Full list with details, locations & images

·4 mins
Good qual­ity icons and images, espe­cially ones with an alpha trans­par­ency can be time con­sum­ing to make, and are often also hard to find. One source of lots of high qual­ity icons in a range of sizes is Win­dows. Win­dows 7 includes lots of icons which can be use­ful as the major­ity are avail­able in sizes from 16×16 up to 256×256, and come with alpha trans­par­ency. You may have noticed that we use some on our down­loads page — they’re handy to quickly indic­ate file type. Win­dows stores most of its icons inside exe and dll files which makes them inac­cess­ible to stand­ard image manip­u­la­tion applic­a­tions like Pho­toshop. How­ever, once they have been loc­ated they can eas­ily be extrac­ted with the free­ware util­ity IcoFX. Track­ing some of them down seems to be the trick­ier part. Below is a quick ref­er­ence for the loc­a­tions of many of the icons avail­able on Win­dows 7. I will peri­od­ic­ally add more details and any extra icon lib­rar­ies I dis­cover to this list.

Getting Ready # Install Windows 7 from scratch on to your test machine. DO NOT upgrade from Windows XP, this needs to be a fresh install. Customise Windows 7 with any software, security settings or general settings you wish. When you install from this image all the settings as well as user accounts will be installed by default. Install WAIK for 7/2008 on the test PC. Download from here (1.7GB). Create WINPE Disk # Right click command prompt run as admin Change to directory “C:Program FilesWindows AIKToolsPETools” run command “copype x86 c:winpe” run command “imagex /mountrw c:winpewinpe.wim 1 c:winpemount” copy imagex.exe from “C:Program FilesWindows AIKToolsx86imagex.exe” to “c:winpemountwindowssystem32″ Create wimscript.ini in “c:winpemountwindowssystem32″ with following inside [ExclusionList] ntfs.log hiberfil.sys pagefile.sys "System Volume Information" RECYCLER WindowsCSC [CompressionExclusionList] *.mp3 *.zip *.cab WINDOWSinf*.pnf Run Command “imagex.exe /unmount /commit c:winpemount” Run Command “copy c:winpewinpe.wim c:winpeisosourcesboot.wim /y” Run Command “oscdimg -n -h -bc:winpeetfsboot.com c:winpeiso c:winpewinpe.iso” This will create an ISO in c:winpewinpe.iso. Burn this and keep. Now we need to sysprep our machine. (You can remove WAIK and any files you don’t need, test your iso first!) Sysprep Your Machine
