Have you ever wanted to extract an icon or cursor from a file? The free IconsExtract application will let you do just that in a few simple clicks of the mouse. With it you can grab an icon that is associated with one of your favorite applications, or scroll through the dozens and dozens of icons that ship with Windows.
After you find the icon(s) that you want you can save them to your computer in the standard ICO image format. The properties of each icon can also be viewed so that you can see what image sizes they are available in. The best thing about this application, however, is that it’s available in a no-install format so that it can easily be run from a USB drive.
Get IconsExtract (Windows only)
Worth mentioning, this is another freebie from Nir Sofer, which has released dozens of small but extremely useful utilities for Windows.
My thanks here, kind Sir.
I discovered this little program like a year ago, have totally loved it and still do.
There is a lot of very tiny but useful software out there to help with some small things. Is there and packs or collections of this software I can find?
I’ve used IcoFX previously & it’s one you may want to checkout also:
[icofx.xhost.ro]
I personally like BeCyIconGrabber ([becyhome.de]) more for these kind of tasks.
A handy freeware for extraction of icons is also at [rw-designer.com] IT can grab icons from all files in given folder at once.
Not really. Most people prefer to get only the applications they need. Otherwise they would just be considered bloat.
BTW: Tehre are much better apps then this.
But how many of them are as small in size, completely free, and require no installation? That’s what made me really love this.
