Searching PC for available icons

[Guest]

Can anyone tell me if there is a way in Windows XP to seach for and list all
available files that contain icons on my PC? I'd often like to make the
icons for folders on my desktop more relevant to what is contained within
them.

At the bottom of the page is one called "JoneSoft Icon Extractor". I've
used it for years, and recommend it for exactly what you want. It was
written for W95/98 but runs perfectly in XP. Very small footprint.
Good luck.

Thanks, Pegasus. I hope the original poster sees it - I had no trouble
finding that link, but I admit, I did not check it (bad, Tony!).

Hi Tony,

When I clicked on the URL for the "JoneSoft Icon Extractor", I got a 404
