Where are the Windows Explorer Toolbar Icons?

[gary]

I've been trying to locate some of the icons on the windows explorer
toolbar. Specifically the "move to" and "copy to" icons. I've looked
in shell32.dll and explorer.exe and some other files but can't find
these icons anywhere.

Anyone have any ideas??

Rename this file, Move this file and Copy this file icons are all in
%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll

The easiest way to find them is to go over about halfway, look for the MSN
butterfly and they are in the next column to the right of the butterfly.

Add the number from the horizontal and vertical axis to get the Icon Index.

0 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 48 52 56 60 64 68 72 76 etc.

Note, that is from Windows 98 but the theory is the same.

Icon index numbers:
Move this file IconIndex=132
Rename this file IconIndex=133
Copy this file IconIndex=134

I cheated, I customized a folder with all three of those icons. I opened
the desktop.ini file in the folder each time and copied the IconIndex
number.

For example desktop.ini for Copy this file icon...

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
IconIndex=134

Actually Wes, those aren't the icons I'm looking for. Open "My
Computer" and right-click a blank space on the toolbar and select
"Customize..." Look for the Toolbar buttons called "Move To" and
"Copy To". Those are the icons I'm looking for (which are different
from the ones in shell32.dll.

Hi Gary,

I seem to have a problem not seeing the forest for the trees.

OK, I was looking at the icons in the Tasks pane for any Documents folder.
However, the Move this file icon is the same as the Move To icon; a manila
folder with a paper in it and a green arrow pointing to the right. The Copy
To icon is a manila folder with a paper in it and a paper sort of close to
it and a green arrow that makes a 90 and points up. I wonder if there is an
official description and how close I came. A picture is certainly worth a
boatload of words. ;-)

Move To icon is IconIndex=132. I noticed that if you customize a folder
with 132 it does not look as crisp as when you add Move To as a toolbar
button. Probably because the button is smaller than the folder icon.

Someone else is going to have to reveal the location of the Copy To icon. I
looked through all of these and I could not find the Copy To icon:

%systemroot%\system32\shell32.dll
%SystemRoot%\system32\Desk.cpl
%SystemRoot%\system32\Inetcpl.cpl
%SystemRoot%\system32\Mmsys.cpl
%SystemRoot%\system32\Mshtml.dll
%SystemRoot%\system32\Main.cpl
%SystemRoot%\system32\PIFMGR.DLL
%SystemRoot%\system32\Progman.exe
%SystemRoot%\system32\Sysdm.cpl
%programfiles%\Internet Explorer\Iexplore.exe
%windir%\Explorer.exe

The toolbar icons are in shell32.dll, but they aren't stored as icons --
they're part of a bitmap 'strip' of all the toolbar icons. You'll need
something like Resource Hacker to get at them.

The four strips are:

shell32.dll -> Bitmap -> 214 -> 1033 (lg,light)
shell32.dll -> Bitmap -> 215 -> 1033 (lg, dark)
shell32.dll -> Bitmap -> 216 -> 1033 (sm, light)
shell32.dll -> Bitmap -> 217 -> 1033 (sm, dark)

The 'light' icons are those used to indicate mouseover.
