Free Batch Icon Extractor

Batch Icon Extractor 1.0

September 5th 2005

An easy to use and free tool for batch extraction of icons. Windows Vista compressed icons are supported!

Download BatchIconExtractor.exe and place it on your desktop.
Drag and drop a file or a folder on the application icon.
All icons from the file or from all files under the given folder are saved to a new folder called "icons". This folder is created in the same folder, where the application resides (Desktop by default).

The application is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. Authors are not responsible for any damage.
The application is designed for Windows NT4, 2000, XP, and Vista. It will NOT run on Windows 95, 98, or Me.
When using the application from command line, specify absolute path to the source file or folder. Relative paths will result in undefined behavior.
Files in the destination folders are always overwritten unless they have the readonly flag set.
To extract all icons on the whole drive, drag and drop the drive on the application and then choose to scan for icons recursively.

Version 1.0 from September 5th 2005: BatchIconExtractor.exe for Windows NT4, 2000, XP, and Vista.
