Icons from Internet Explorer Menu Bar: How does one capture them?

[scuzymoto]

A quick and dirty way to capture them would be to have internet explorer open on your desktop. Then press alt-prnt scrn. This takes a snapshot of your current window and puts it in the clipboard. (prnt scrn without the alt key snapshots the entire desktop). Then with paint or other drawing software you hit ctrl-c to paste it. Then you use your copy tool to extract each individual icon back to the clipboard and past it into a program that can make icon files. A little labor intensive but it works, I've done it several times.

Didn't mention before but for the mouse-over version when you hit alt-prnt scrn make sure your mouse is positioned over the icon you want. The nice thing is windows automatically ignores the mouse when it takes the snapshot. I just extracted the home icon testing this method out. If you want to take a look at it I can send it to you.

SCUZ,

You made my day! This utterly trivial approach works perfectly, and for me is a whole lot easier than futzing around with icon extractors and editors! I'm embarassed by the amount of time I've wasted trying to figure this out!
