Last question to bug you all for awhile, I hope. Anyway, after learning that you can use the .extract command to use .ico files in shortcuts and other modules, I've learned that you can use the imbedded .ico's in .dll's and .exe's. However, how can I know which one to specify? Is there a tool/program that can read icon packages in .dll format and display them and their positions? Or if I wanted to use the icon for explorer or other executable, how do I know which position to use?

addendum: Okay, searched for it, and I guess I've found a few, any recommendations then?

Create a shortcut to something, right click and select "properties", then "change icon" and find the one you want.

Er, I'm guessing it goes down first and then across, so take the column*4 + the row number.

Obviously not the best way... :P

Honestly, this is much better an answer then I expected. Anything to keep from installing more software is good for me. Thank a lot.
