If you have an existing application installed on your computer, you can use one of the following tools to extract icons from it: Icon Extractor or Icon Maker. Icon Extractor is a free program that can extract icons from any application. It can be found at the following link: https://www.icon-extractor.com/ Icon Maker is a paid program that can create ICO files of different sizes.

IconsExtract

IconsExtract is a tool that you can use to automatically find icons that are stored in various file types. By using this program, you’ll be amazed at the number of icons that are stored on your computer.

The program is a search engine that can be used to find anything you need! You can filter the search by icons or cursors, by icon size, and even by the color depth.

-Startup from the Windows desktop -Startup from the Windows Start menu You can also start the program from a USB flash drive. ..

You can change the default shell32.dll value by editing the registry key C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll and setting the value to a different one.

You can either type in the filename into the textbox, or select it from a dialog box by clicking the Browse Files button. You can also select multiple filenames by using wildcard characters (? and *). ..

You can browse folders by clicking the Browse Folders button. If you check the Search Subfolders box, all of the subfolders of the main folder will also be scanned.

This is a nice option that simply lists out the currently running processes on your computer and lets you choose one of them to extract icons from. If you want to see all the running processes on your computer, select “All Processes” from the “Select Processes” drop-down list.

After the search is complete, you will find the icons displayed in the main window of the program. You can then save the icons into ICO files by selecting the ones you want to save and then choosing Save Selected Icons from the File menu.

You can also copy a single icon to the clipboard and paste it into another application by pressing the standard CTRL + C key combo. This will copy the icon in the standard dimensions of 16×16 or 32×32. If you want to copy a different size, double click on the icon and select the specific image in the properties window and click Copy Selected Image.

BeCylconGrabber

BeCylconGrabber is a useful little tool for grabbing high quality icons from application executables. I like this program slightly better than IconsExtract because it has a nicer interface and cleaner look. I don’t think IconsExtract has been updated since 2010, so that’s quite a while back.

Anyway, this program is portable and doesn’t require an installation. Just run the EXE file and you’ll get the main program window with three tabs on the left and a preview window on the right. ..

Under the Directory tab, you can browse to an individual file and see the icons for that particular DLL or EXE, etc. Let’s say I wanted to get a nice icon for Google Chrome, I would just browse to the chrome.dll file.

To save an icon, you can click on it and then click the Save button or just double-click on the icon. You’ll get a customized save dialog where you can save it out as an icon with all the different sizes and color depths.

You can search for icons in a particular directory by clicking on the New Search button.

Directory: C:\Users Search for files with at least: Max symbol: 10,000

If you don’t click on anything on the left side, it’ll show you all the icons for that particular size that it found. You can also click on a particular file from the search results and it’ll show you just those icons from that file. Lastly, you can select an icon and then press the Favorites button, which will add it to the Favorites tab where you can easily access them without having to search again.

These two programs are the best ones for extracting good quality icons from an application file. There are other programs that work, but they only let you extract a certain size, which is useless in my opinion.

Now that you have your new icons, you can use them to create a custom icon for your flash drive. If you couldn’t find a good icon on your computer, you can convert your own images into icons and use those! Enjoy! ..
