You can use this code to get the icon from any file on your hard disk.... Simply call the function with a filename; 'c:\testfile.exe', an imagelist to add the icon to; 'imagelist1', a picturebox for buffer purposes; 'picturebox1' and the size of the image you wish to extract, either 16, or 32 pixels. This code returns the index of the icon that has been added to the imagelist.
