extract firefox icon in batch script
Hi Experts,
I need a free program to save the first icon from firefox.exe to an ico-file, that can be run from a script. So it must get its task from the commandline, not with mouse clicks in a graphical user interface. Which icon- or resource extractor program can do this?

msifox, a quick glance at what's available does suggest you may have to do that bit of the job yourself I'm afraid, I've just tested a few apps that might have done it, none work well I'm afraid. MSDN has some reference material on the file format here this might be useful.

The icon that I'm looking for needs only 4 kilobytes.
Looks like the ico files contain the icons in many resolutions, including very high resolution, and probably as uncompressed bitmap.
So this solves only part of my problem. How can I get the first icon just in one resolution, for example 48x48 pixels? Hmm, maybe I could program this myself, the file format of the ico files looks simple.
