Hi, Joe.

>OK.. Here it is. Be sure to include "Imports Microsoft.Win32" I thought this would be a fun distraction from my project. :)

once again, tks for taking your time and having this fun. :)

The function works fine returning the name of the file where the icon exists (potentially an exe file). The problem now is extracting this icon from the exe file..... I've found this article:

and I've tried to play around with it for a bit, but it isn't worth the hassle right now.

I'll keep this bookmarked anyway so that I can refer back to it when I have some more time...
