extract exe icon

[VBnetster]

hi,

is there some way that i can extract a files icon? i was looking at the ExtractIconEx API but it just totally confused me! i also cant find what im looking for, what i need to do is replace file1.exe icon with file2.exe icon.

Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon Method can get you the icon.

As for replace I have no idea, why would you want to do that? You can create a shortcut to the exe and set a custom icon for the shortcut.

just planning on making a program where the user can change file icons. for fun basically
