IconViewer is a free Windows Explorer extension that lets you easily view, copy, and save icons contained within programs and libraries. IconViewer is a shell extension, a plugin for Windows Explorer. When you open the Properties box for a file containing icons, an extra Icons tab will appear. Clicking on this tab brings up the IconViewer property page, and it lists the icons that the file contains.
Right-click on a DLL or EXE icon resource file, click Properties and select the Icons tab. From the Icons tab, you can perform the following tasks:
- View icons contained in the file
- Copy device images to the clipboard
- Save icons and device images to a separate file
This shell extension supports Windows XP 32-bit icons & Windows Vista PNG icons.
