#208 Can't use icons in .exe files (only .dlls)

[dlwatib]

I added a custom item to my Classic Explorer toolbar to start cmd.exe with the current folder. The command works fine but I could not use the program icon in cmd.exe because the icon browser in the Classic Explorer Edit Toolbar would only search .dll files.

I had to substitute shell32.dll,35

A cmd toolbar button is useful enough you ought to consider adding it to the standard set.

This is not true. Icons in exes work fine. The problem is that the cmd icon has a string ID, and not a numeric ID. Classic Shell only supports numeric IDs.

As a workaround, you can extract the icon from cmd.exe as a standalone ICO file, and use it directly.
