    Why don't you just create them?

    Maybe in a Windows 10 forum?

  9. 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 uses PowerShell to create a shortcut on every users' desktop (notice it is in "Public", so common to all). It is for a more straightforward (for those still stuck in earlier Windows eras or Mac->Win converts who don't know how to use the Start button items) and simplistic way to logout. Notice, it uses the stock Windows "shell32.dll" system API file as its source for icon resources. Also notice: it shows icon position "176", so is the 177th icon resource available - numbering starts from 0.
    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: Image
    [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.
