Icon Catcher 3.1

Icon Catcher lets you scan your hard drives for icons, preview them and use them elsewhere. This handy icon management program was sold for US$10, but is free with this month’s APC.
Before you trawl the Web looking for icons to make your Desktop a little more flashy, why not look a little closer to home. Icon Catcher is a 32-bit utility that can find and extract icon files from any EXE, DLL, or any other type of file that might contain embedded icons. Each icon can be saved in either BMP or ICO format, or copied to the Clipboard for pasting into your favourite graphics editor. You can also pick the background colour for maintaining the transparency of bitmaps and grab any images directly from your screen.
