Where can I find a fake Internet Explorer icon?

Because I want my exe program to have the same icon that IE has, so people will think it's IE and be more likely to open it.

Yes, because I'm sure you're trying to convince people to open your game by pretending it's IE. :rolleyes: Trojan horses are suck, but if you can't even figure out how to use IE's icon, you have no hope anyway.

So you have a program that is on someones computer that you want them to accidentally open? Dare I ask why? And why would your program be on their PC anyway?

You're being too hard on the guy.

I'm not going to rate him up to undo the damage, though. That's a little too "un-hard" on him.

Get un-lazy. Lazy people are the last to get help.

If I can't get any help I will be FORCED to have to use the Netscape icon.

I'm not lazy, I just don't like doing any work.

Get it from IExplorer.exe - too lazy to show you how. (read: *real* lazy)

If it's not worth your time, then why would it be worth our time? If it isn't worth it to you to figure it out (hint: it's really simple) then it's probably not that important that it be done.

I have located iexplore.exe but can't figure out how to use the icon. Microsoft did't make a seperate icon file (or at least made it well hidden and disguised it in a different file format). Please please please tell me how!
