View and Extract Icons From Windows Library
(imageres.dll, shell32.dll, Etc.)

Windows 11 has a lot of attractive icons that make both the system look good and fun to use. Have you ever wondered where Windows may bury them in the system? You won’t be able to find anything if you do a search for .ico files, because those nice-looking icons are not stored individually on your system. Instead, they are all buried in a single Windows library or exe file, such as imageres.dll, shell32.dll, or explorer.exe. These files are usually located in the c:\windows\system32\ folder by default.

Luckily, TweakNow WinSecret Plus offers a convenient way to locate and extract these icons into PNG or ICO files. Give it a try today!
