Trying to find icon location.

[pilgrim]

I have just created a new shortcut for a batch file that runs my main internet connection and put it in Quick Launch.
I would like to change the icon to match my other network shortcuts but I can't find the icon which is this:

If it's in a DLL, notice that http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/iconsext.html retains the name of the DLL (and gives it to the icons).

But if it's a shortcut you created, can you just right-click it, >Properties >Customize?

EDIT:  Sorry I just reread and saw that it's a Windows 7 system thing, so right-clicking might not work.  YOu still could bulk extract all the icons from your system dlls (it would take all day), then find the icon and thus the name of the dll.  (maybe....  I'm not a programer)

Thanks for the reply but I have Icons Extract and a list of the most common icon containing DLL's and EXE's, unfortunately it wasn't in any of them.

I wasn't certain when I originally posted but I have had this problem before, if I open properties for one of the shortcuts I created directly from Network Connections while the shortcut itself shows the icon in my first post the properties window is showing this icon:

Not sure why it's giving different images...
Have you tried a global search for "netcenter*" though?  Presumably there is a netcenter.dll or netcenter.exe someplace in the system folder...

It appears in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 in netcenter.dll and netshell.dll but when you go to view it in iconsext it changes.

eg.





Ah, it's a multi-image icon, just extract it and step through the various images within it.

I found it in System32\netcentre.dll by looking in all DLL's in that folder starting with 'net'.

When I came up against this before I remember someone saying it was a composite image.
I use extraction on various files almost every day but I never even thought of it in this case.
Having extracted it I cannot see how that helps me copy that particular icon?

It took me an hour, three different programs and a visit to an online image editor to finish up with this:
