Windows Toolbox: GRS--I Know Icon, I Know Icon

Whether you're building a Web page, enhancing your quarterly report, or just retouching your virtual desktop, icons are a useful category of artwork. But getting existing icons in a file format you can work with isn't always easy.

One solution is P&S Group's Graphic Stealer Pro (or GRS for short), a $15 shareware utility that lets you view and extract icons from .ico, .dll, .exe, and many other file formats. You can then save the icons in the .ico or .bmp format, or copy them to the Clipboard. Better still, you can select multiple icons and save them in a format that accepts many icons, such as .icl or .dll. GRS is well worth the modest price.

You can download the program from PCWorld.com's Downloads or from the P&S Group.

We pay $50 for published tips and questions. Scott Dunn is a contributing editor for PC World.
