What is extract parameter?

Name or path of the file to extract icons from. Or folder to scan for these files. If there are space in the path, the whole path should be in "". - by Vlasta on September 1st 2014

does it support .dll and .exe files? and do you have a tool to put them back into a .dll or .exe file? that'd be awesome

You have to know beforehand what files contain icons.
Then it extracts them very well - drag & drop onto the bie-exe file - but until then, it's a guessing game 😞

maybe the program should check inside .dll files aswell as .exe it is missing quite a few icons because of this

Of course it does. - by Vlasta on May 7th 2018

This program works well, bulk extracts icons from files and saves them inside a folder called icons where you run the program from. I highly recomment. You will need to find somthing else if you wish to select subtypes etc. But i used this as the main extractor with another program searching its icons dir for filtering of subpicture types.

Still working in 2022 on Windows 11 Pro x64

Would love to have a switch for removing the 'Press Enter to exit' when running this in a FOR loop.

Thanks For letting us know its still working on Win 11, I hope the Icon and Cursor editing wares work still too! - by Anonymous on September 3rd 2023

This should be obsolete, since RW Cursor Editor and RW Icon Editor has it now.
