mo (2005-12-11): i think you should add png option.

Unknown author (2006-01-23): Thanks for a usefull program.

Unknown author (2006-02-03): Cool. Thank you!

Unknown author (2006-02-09): Thank you for this great tool!

Unknown author (2006-02-28): Thanks so much - this really helped me!

Unknown author (2006-03-14): very easy to use and, best of all, free!!!

Unknown author (2006-03-23): Oh ! Very good ! Thank you !

Unknown author (2006-04-16): TurkishMaster -> Çok Güzel Bir Program, Sadece EXE Dosyasını Programın Üzerine Taşıyıp Bırakın Yeter...

Unknown author (2006-05-24): Great application! Will it support dll files, too, in the future?

Vlasta (2006-05-24): All 32-bit executables are supported, the extension does not matter. Legacy 16-bit files are not supported and there are currently no plans to extend the tool. Maybe your dll is one of these old files.

Unknown author (2006-05-25): Extremely useful app, thx a lot! :-)

Conor (2006-06-12): Hey, like this.. anyway to specify whcih icon to pull out of a file?
EG, a shortcut uses icon #4 in myapp.exe, all I need is that one icon and need a way to script that single icon retrieval..... I don't need all 20 icons in the exe :)

Vlasta (2006-06-13): Well, its batch icon extractor after all. You can easily extract single icon for example with Visual Studio or with RealWorld Icon Editor

Unknown author (2006-06-13): a very handy tool. lovely.

Unknown author (2006-06-16): I have tried four different free icon extractors, and this is the only one that works as advertised for me.

Unknown author (2006-06-18): this is so cool!!! i finally have all of my icons ready!!

Unknown author (2006-06-22): It is excellent

Unknown author (2006-06-25): Awesome, been looking for something like this for a long time.

Unknown author (2006-07-18): it says find latest version of batch.... didnt work...

Vlasta (2006-07-19): It says that after it processes all specified files. Please re-read the usage instructions on this page. If the problem persists and you want to solve it, please tell me more than 'didnt work'.

Unknown author (2006-08-17): Wow excellente! i have been searching for a free program like this for my entire life!

Unknown author (2006-09-02): Extremely handy, simple and effective. A masterpiece!

Unknown author (2006-12-05): Awsome, thanks!

Unknown author (2006-12-14): very nice, speedy and usefull tool

Unknown author (2006-12-18): simple and right to the point, about time someone made a program like this one. Good job!

Unknown author (2007-01-01): This has got to be the most awesome little FREE program that I have ever seen... so short, sweet, to the point, and simple! Nice work man.

Unknown author (2007-01-10): I spent lots of time looking for freeware to extract some Vista icons I want. This tiny software, simple but powerful, tops them all. A real masterpiece!!! It extracts not just 32x32 icons, as most of freeware does, but ALL icons at once! Great! And handy!

Unknown author (2007-02-19): Great and sux... For me, it only extract icons with 32x32px...

Vlasta (2007-02-19): It extracts all formats available. Windows Explorer only displays the size of the last format in an icon, so no not rely on that information.

Unknown author (2007-02-21): It cannot extract from a DLL???

Vlasta (2007-02-21): It can.

Unknown author (2007-02-24): Thanks, is awsome

Happy User (2007-03-17): Drag,Drop,and POOF its there

Great job, cant wait to see what other handy tools you guys have

Little Note: See if you can make it extract application files instead of just the application and dlls

Unknown author (2007-04-04): What a clever piece of work! Handy, simple, and convenient. Not to mention free! Thanks very much.

Unknown author (2007-04-04): Wondering if there was a commandline option for a silent extraction of the icon's. So that it could be used in a batch file to extract multiple icons files and folders using a batch file.

Vlasta (2007-04-04): Not really, but you can extract all icons on a drive (C:\) at once...

Unknown author (2007-05-09): Thanks for the great tool. Vlasta, do you have any plans to add extracting bmp or png resources?

Unknown author (2007-05-26): My second time and I cant wait until I see what other things you guys have! One more happy user!

Unknown author (2007-07-17): Please implementate also to extract png bmp jpg & co. then your tool will be the greatest! Greez

Unknown author (2007-08-10): I tried dragging an icon library (.icl file) onto it but it says the file is invalid!?

Vlasta (2007-08-10): .icl is a renamed .dll. But .dlls can use old (Windows 3.1) or new (Windows 95 and newer) format. If it is the former, this tool would not work (and no, this feature will never be added).

Unknown author (2007-08-21): Please remove Enter key waiting. It stops the script from running continuously... thanks.

Unknown author (2007-10-17): Is there any way so that if I call it from a command line it will run continuously? Possibly add a log file in the icon folder to give details on what succeeded and what failed. Other than that, its pretty neat.

Vlasta (2007-10-17): Yes, there is a way. If you redirect the standard output to a file and also the standard input (to a file with one newline character), it will run silently. Though I do not see a reason for this, who extracts icons on a daily basis?

Unknown author (2007-12-17): What a really nice tool!

FreezEO 5000 (2008-01-31): really nice, really nice :)

Unknown author (2008-02-02): Hi,
Works really great, (AND MORE!) Bud the more is the problem. Using Vista on one computer and XP on another I experienced the same problem. After extracting the Icons, either on the desktop or in a folder, the program would not end it's association with the Icon folder. They were linked to the point I couldn't move the folder or move the program to end the association. I finally had to reboot to start fresh. Am I missing something? Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,
David

Vlasta (2008-02-03): Once you close the window, the program technically cannot have any effect on any folder. There must be something else going on. Maybe Explorer creates previews of the extracted icons or an antivirus software scans the new files or something like that.

Unknown author (2008-02-03): Vlasta, Strange, I wasn't getting the "Window" yesterday except when clicking the Icon. When dropping a folder on top, it created the Icon folder and put the icons inside and then hung. Today, it is creating the window properly. Must have been a temporary condition, (but on two computers?). I was Copy/Pasteing the program to other folders, maybe this is a factor. David

Dario1265 (2008-03-02): Hi Vlasta,
I have recently discovered and really enjoy Batch Icon Extractor
and I wonder whether there is a way to define its destination folder, for instance as a parameter from the command line? It is a bit inconvenient for me to have the .exe on my desktop, I would prefer to be able to add a shortcut to Batch Icon Extractor with an argument (specifying the destination folder)to my SendTo folder.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Dario

tulsab (2008-03-02): Vlasta-
What a great program! I'd been looking for one just like this for 3 or 4 years. It works great for me but I've got a question. Is there any way for your program to extract the icons used for .exe programs? I use another program, Icon Viewer, to locate icons and it will show the icons for .exe programs but it, of course, has no means of extracting icons. Again, I love what you've created. Thanks much,
Blaine (tulsab)

Vlasta (2008-03-03): Using custom output folder is currently not possible, but it might be added in the future (no promises).

Extracting icons from exe files or any other Windows PE files should work without problems.

programmer-in-training (2008-03-15): What language is it written it?

Vlasta (2008-03-16): C++

In the interim, perhaps this would be easy: Current scheme finds or creates a local directory named "icons" and extracts icons from given "FileName" to files named "icons"\"FileName"_<whatever>.ico

My recommendation is to find or create a local directory named "FileName" (or _"FileName"_ or something like that) and to extract icons into "FileName"\<whatever>.ico

The change should be just a few strings in the source, and the result will be that the user doesn't have to rename the result directory after each use (plus less cumbersome filenames as an added bonus)...

Typical Vista woe:

Try "Unlocker" - works great!
