Thank You I find de DLL file that contains the icons I tried reemplace it with the DLL Windows default but Windows donīt let me do it, I donīt know if I jhave to replace this DLL that contains the icons or I need to save this Icons on a ICO file this is the thing I donīt know how to do it
Iīll so appreciate if you can guide me? -
I think you have to replace the dll. It must be from the same Windows version you use. I think it can be replaced offline only, so you have to boot your system with a winpe g.e.

You SHOULD NOT replace any standard Windows DLL merely for purposes of using the icons within. That can corrupt & destabilize the system.
Windows and other apps can make use of various DLLs, it just needs to be pointed to them.
For example,
Code:# Create a Shortcut with Windows PowerShell $TargetFile = "%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe" $argA = "/l" $argB = "/f" $ShortcutFile = "$env:Public\Desktop\Log Out.lnk" $WScriptShell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell $Shortcut = $WScriptShell.CreateShortcut($ShortcutFile) $Shortcut.TargetPath = $TargetFile $Shortcut.WorkingDirectory = "%windir%\System32" $Shortcut.Description = "Log Out" $Shortcut.IconLocation = "shell32.dll,176" $Shortcut.Arguments = $argA + " " + $argB $Shortcut.Save()
This code could easily be changed to point to any other ICO or DLL that has icon resources, in any other path (this one was Windows/System32, but could be anywhere), and any other number order.
Seriously, you could have created and drawn the icons yourself by now. They aren't that hard. Here's a Question Mark I did about 5 years ago:
[Attachment 56330 - Click to enlarge], and I have an icon that I created over 20 years ago which was the source of my animated GIF avatar (Groucho).
And there's plenty of web topics that explain how to access & take advantage of icon resources in the various resource files (EXE, ICO, DLL, etc). You can start by taking a look at IconViewer, so you can see which resources have which icons.

Scott is right, it's totally unnecessary to replace a system DLL if the only goal is getting some icons for the desktop shortcuts.
You can extract only the icons you want/need from a DLL or an EXE, any decent free icon editor can do that."Programmers are human-shaped machines that transform alcohol into bugs."
