Ico files for MS Word, Excel, PDF, JPG, etc...

Hi,
Does anybody know where or how to get the icon for application like MS Word, MS Excel, pdf file, jpg file, dwg file, etc. I need these display images for any file format. I couldn't find any of these images although I have the application. If I am not mistaken, it should be in .ico extension. Please help.

Thanks,
chewlf

Well...If youve got a Mac handy just do a "Get Info" on the files and in the upper right corner is the icon. Click on it once and Edit>Copy. In any image editor choose Edit>Paste. (Command-C and Command-V)...But it sounds like youre in Windows.

Yes, what I mentioned was all in Windows and using Windows Application.

Assuming you have these applications, just go to Windows Explorer and perform a search for *.ico files on your hard drive. You can check this link for a primarily Windows-based icon library: http://www.vbaccelerator.com/
Just click on "icons" in the left pane.

Hi,

I can find some of the ico that I want. But then I can't display it in jpg or bmp format. What should I do? My intention is to display this icon in front of the file to indicate that this file is belong to certain format. I am using some program to control it. It is not automatically set by application like MS Word. Any word document the system will automatically attach the icon for it.

Thanks,
