Restart Icon

Max Powerz · Mar 16, 2004, 02:59 AM

Does anyone have or know where windows keeps the windows xp restart icon that you see when you goto 'start' and 'turn off computer'?

PangingJr · Mar 16, 2004, 06:00 AM

i think its in the SHELL32.dll (\system32\SHELL32.dll)

Yea I thought it was too but I don't think so, the shutdown one is they're and logout once, but no restart (or standby)

PangingJr · Mar 16, 2004, 02:32 PM

hmm maybe i'll look for it later what do you want to use it for? for shortcut?

Max Powerz · Mar 16, 2004, 02:34 PM

Yea, shortcut to restart computer. I was gonna just assign a hotkey to it but the hotkeys don't seem to always work so I just put it on my quick launch, works well, would look better with the restart icon tho.

okay i'll try to get you one when i can.

Awesome! Thanks man, you've been great helpen me fix all this stuff.

i guess you'll have to create an icon yourself or have your friend do it for you if you dont know how to..

you can get a bitmap file for the icons (both restart and standby)
from "msgina.dll" (\WINDOWS\system32),
Its a bitmap resource inside the file and it is on item # '20150'

-Or-
just bring up the 'Turn off computer' dialog box and get the bitmap from there.

this's all i can do atm.

Or just take a screenshot and crop it down to the icon, then save it as a .ico

http://www.irfanview.com/ is one of the best (if not the best) image viewer/editor (and it's free

) if you need one. It'll save .ico with the plugins pack.

Just checked the msgina.dll file, but it's not they're you said something about #20150, and bitmap resource? So how do I get it?

you need a program to view resources in Win32 executable files like Resource Hacker

Max Powerz · Mar 17, 2004, 04:40 PM

Dam, couldent you get it out and then make a new ICO of it and then send it?

PangingJr · Mar 17, 2004, 04:42 PM

i dont know how to make it.

Max Powerz · Mar 17, 2004, 04:50 PM

Don'y you just rename it .ico?

I emailed the admins with the ICO attachment. I'm hoping they will put it on their site and post here what the URL is to grab it.

Better late than never?
