I want to be able to make a program that can extract icons that are 32x32 or 48x48 size. I have found free icon extractors that can take icons out of EXE files, but since ALL of the free extractors I've found don't have decent documentation on their websites (not even to tell me if they handle 32x32 or 48x48 icons) I assume the programs are made on the quick and ONLY handle 32x32 icons. On the other hand, ALL of the ones that specifically state the size of the icons they can extract (espcially if that size is 48x48) are for sale, and include watermarks on the extracted icons in the trial version of the software. I'm tempted to do the illegal thing and try to find a keygen for the software, but I want to stay legal. So I need to know the specs of the EXACT format of Windows *.ico files, as well as the way *.ico files are stored inside of *.exe files, because I plan to use VB6 to program my OWN icon extractor software to meet my needs. Can someone please provide me with the info I'll need here, before I embark on what might be a very tough program to make?
