How to extract an icon from an exe?

[Schlocemus]

Any thoughts?

I am not sure if I follow your question but I believe you can use programs such as Microangelo to view, edit, or create your own icons and cursors.

Okay, say you create a shortcut to IE. Then when you click Properties --> Shortcut --> Change Icon, you are actually viewing the program file, and inside there are icons. Hard to explain, so you can look at screen shot here

Check out IconShop
I think this has the features you want.

*edit*. Also, if you know how to program you can create your own program to extract icons from executables using the ExtractIconEx API call
