Extracting/modifying icons/cursors in EXE/DLL files
Through loading a 32-bit PE executable file or icon library to Greenfish Icon Editor Pro, you can extract and modify resources (icons and cursors) found in the library file. GFIE can open EXE, DLL, SCR, CPL, OCX, ICL, IL, VBX and BPL files (the list may not be complete). Note that older, 16-bit files cannot be handled and yield no icons.
- Choose File | Open and select an executable file.
- The icons and cursors will be listed in a library window. Note that not all executable files contain icons.
- Select a resource and press Extract and edit to open the selected icon or cursor in an editing window.
- Press Extract and save to extract the selected resource(s) as files to a folder.
- Press Replace resources and choose an icon or cursor file to replace the selected resource in the executable file. This should be done with great caution, as this may completely spoil program files, not only due to possible bugs, but because the working mechanism of the program itself.
- Choose Save to save any changes you made.
Please keep in mind that changes to libraries cannot be undone.
