Hi all,

I'm asking this for two reasons:
[list=1]1) I'm a very curious person.[/list=1] [list=2]2)I am creating a page reviewing programs of a particular type, and it occured to me it would be a nice decorative touch to show the program icons (along with the developers/vendors details). But the icons are .exe files, so I'm wondering (as almost anything is possible in this environment) whether it's possible to convert them to GIFs somehow??[/list=2]Before anyone suggests I write to the authors, my feeling is that's probably a waste of time and perhaps going further than the candle is worth.

And it wouldn't help answer this question.

Cheers :)

There are plenty of Shareware programs to extract icons from executables and dll's..

Just do a google for "EXTRACT ICON" + EXE and you should find what you need.

Depending on your programming background you can also write a program to do this for you..
