Explorer Folder Icon Question

[+Bob+]

In Explorer, folders usually have the manilla folder Icon. However, if
I create a web site in MS-FrontPage, it gets a new icon - the one with
the little "world" on it to indicate that this is a web site folder.
For various reasons, sometimes that does not happen automatically and
I would like to change some manually.

Anyone know where this icon is located or have a hint at the file name
I can search for? These icons apparently don't come from a .dll file,
they are some form of Image - when you browse to change them, they
allow you to look for Image files (only), not .dll's or anything else.

Thanks,

Easies way is to have folders of ur fav icons as .ICO files then
FolserProp > Customize > ChangeIcon put full path ( like F:\My
Documents\All Icons\Favorites\Money\i000009.ICO )

You can extract icons from EXE on PC or D/L icons & icon libraries.

Any advice is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.

Thanks Larry... that got me on the trail and I found where MS stores
the icon that gets used for "web site" folders.

Do you know of any good extract programs ?

Should get 1 4 $0 on ZDnet - search 4 icon & u'll get libraries also.
I use http://www.copseystrain.com/iconsucker/ (expired) for $10 cause
I convert them to trans GIFs.

Lots u get r goofy & not serious. I think I got 2500(2.5MB) sorted in
folders like printers,pc,scanner, cam, road signs, xmas, etc. I could
post them in zip 4 u - just let me know.
