Professional applications written in any language commonly have an icon image to distinguish the program. It can be important for C# applications to extract those default icons from executables. For example picture a program manager that keeps track of program locations, representing each program with its own icon is essential.

You will need two API functions:



1- ExtractIconExA - Accesses the icon information on an executable file

2- DestroyIcon - Cleans up the memory by deleting the extracted information
