Notepad Icon Location

NilAdmirari · Aug 13, 2003

Hey I'm trying to locate where windows stores the icons for its programs. I recently switched over to a notepad alternative and it changed my icon. I'd like to switch back to the MS standard icon except I can't seem to find it. The icon in notepad.exe is simply for the program exe. I'm using Win XP Pro. Any help?

In my XP home, the icon for notepad is located in:
%SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe.

Just copy and paste that into the "Look for icon in" field.

the icon you posted is the icon for the programs exe. I was looking for the notepad icon for .txt

Thankfully I located it though...it was in the system32.dll file
