Windows 10: Windows Icons

Hi:

Do any of you know of a site that has icons for Windows? Not smilies, but I like 'em. *Smile

My problem is that some of the programs/apps on my Quick Launch Bar turn into a plain page rather than the icon it should have. Calculator and Sway are a couple of them.

When I want to "pin" a new program to Quick Launch, I unlock the Taskbar, click on Start>All Apps, right click on the app I want, hover over "More" and choose "Open File Location". From there I can drag the icon to Quick Launch. Then re-lock the Taskbar.

However, there are some apps that don't show "Open File Location"; I can drag and drop those, but invariably, they lose their "logo" and turn into a blank page.

So, I need icons.

:)

 

5800: program icon gone (not moved..)

since i accidentally deleted files in the private folder, i can no longer open programmes installed on the memory card: their icons are gone (not moved, but disappeared)!

How can i open program without icon? Program IS installed, PCsuite detects it.

How can i get back the icons?

 

program icons gone

i accidentally deleted my "private" folder on my 5800. Now the icons for google maps and alternate reader are gone. PCSuite shows them as installed and i can see the program files while connected to the pc. The symbols are not just moved, i checked. I
also restarted the phone and used the *#7370# trick. Pls help, i need these programs...

 

This is close.. but may be out of date. Not tried comparing.. I have Win 7 icons mostly..
The Windows 10 icon database

 

Most Windows Icons are stored in .dll or .exe files such as shell32.dll or imageres.dll
under C:\Windows\System32
Icon for a Windows Application, open its .exe. For example: firefox.exe
You can download a portable version of Icon Explorer or Portable IcoFx and use to extract whatever icon you need.

 

However if you're after icons for the apps, that's another matter.. I don't think they'll be in either of the above. At one point I did create a folder of icons for the universal apps for my Classic Shell start menu, but found some icons went blank in due course. I deleted the folder- rather pointless in the end.

 

Thanks, Top Gun!

 

Thanks, Dalchina, but I couldn't find what I need there. Maybe it will help others, though.

 

This is just what I need to adjust my MacOS devices in Windows 10!

Cheers

 

Many Windows 10 Icons are actually Glyphs - font character elements that may be rescaled, colored, backgrounded, superimposed, or programmed to appear in sequence to provide animations.

Most of these (if not all) are to be found in the Segoe MDL2 Assets OpenType font (C:\windows\fonts\segmdl2.ttf).

It can be examined with Charmap.exe:

*Start then type cha, wait a second and press enter, and scroll down to select this huge font file.

Huge in terms of contents, not in filesize - and charmap should be deprecated, and replaced with a modern viewer, because these symbol fonts show too small to be resolved on most systems today.

Better still - see the Cheatsheet:

A bit easier method of getting the icons out of files

IconsExtract - Extract icon/cursor stored in EXE, DLL, OCX, CPL files
