HABit Icon Tap

Almost all Windows programs contain one or more icons and icons may also be found in many dynamic link libraries (DLL files).

The Icon tap application was designed to help you view all these icons and to extract them as icon (ICO) files or bitmap (BMP) files.

WARNING: Using icons extracted from such files may involve a breach of copyright law. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have permission to copy and use such icons.

Run the program and use the Folder Tree Box to select the folder containing the files you wish to examine or extract icons from.

In the Files Box, the names of files which contain icons are marked with a small version of the first icon in the file. If you do not see an icon beside a filename, there are no icons in that file.

You can resize the window panes by dragging on the dividers wth your mouse. To show all the icons in the file, click on the file name and the icons will be shown in the large Icon window.

To extract a particular icon, select the icon by clicking on it and then click on the [Save as Icon] button to save it as a separate icon file or on {Save as Bitmap] to save it as a bitmap file. In either case you will be asked for a name for the file.
