Icon Tools |
When creating shortcuts you will want small icon files to add to the "Icon" table, for this reason you will either extract icons from large executable programs, create your own or look at some of the large collections available for a suitable one.
I maintain a list of Windows icon editors and extractors at "http://dennisbareis.com/bookmark_computer_opsys_windows_software_specific_purpose_multi_media_graphics_icons.htm".
