System defined shell icons in Windows

November 3rd, 2009 No comments

Windows Vista introduced a new native API that allows developers to retrieve system-defined Shell icons: SHGetStockIconInfo. Those icons are stored in %SystemRoot%\System32\ImageRes.dll

You can use various icon management utilities to extract these icons from there and use it in your own products thus providing the same UX for users like the one they used to in Windows. (I believe changing these icons in this DLL file will result in seeing them everywhere in Windows).

Developers should use system API to extract these icons. However sometimes you just want to use an individual icon in one of your applications and you don’t want to have any interaction with the API calls. For your convenience I have extracted these icons for you and they are listed below. Use navigation buttons to see icons in all pages. Each icon can be downloaded in its original format – .ICO

Hope you will find it useful.
