March 29, 20215 yr I am trying to find where the Internet Explorer toolbar icons are. I have tried various things to find them but I haven't been able to. I tried using IconsExtract to search through iexplore.exe but I didn't find the toolbar icons. Didn't find them using Resource Hacker either. I even went as far as to have IconsExtract search every file on the C: drive for icons but I did not see the Internet Explorer toolbar icons when scrolling through the 1551 icons IconsExtract found on the hard drive. I tried doing some research, but I couldn't really find anything relevant. Does anyone know what file these icons are stored in and how I would extract them? I have included an image highlighting the icons I am looking for.
March 29, 20215 yr They're probably stored as bitmaps, not icons. Check Explorer and other system dll's. Comctl32.dll does have a larger version of the Stop icon for use in MessageBoxes.

They are long strips of icons with all the icons in one long bitmap with a magenta background. I wasn't expecting that. Edited March 29, 20215 yr by Segadude
March 29, 20215 yr If you're ever putting those back, make sure to preserve the exact same magenta colour. It masks the transparent part.
