Question: I said 'hunt'

Icon hunt. I am looking for icons related to networking and WiFi on XP and OSX.

Just the standard XP and OSX icons, like the aerial with lines coming off it etc. My Google-fu is failing me.
The task bar icons are not .ico files AFAICT, at least Windows isn't finding them when I search for *.ico
I don't want to create icons, replace them, download a new library or mess with them in any way.
Preferably, the graphics will be in a format that I can open in windows.
A screen capture would suffice, but trawling Wifi setup guides has not produced any with the actual icons on.

Icons can also be stored in .exe files.

And .dll files.

OK. Searching through all the .exe and .dll files to find them would be quite time consuming. Also, I am running Win2k and do not have the XP Wifi icons.
Thanks for the info.

The GUIdebook is very much like what I am looking for, but sadly doesn't have the icons for Wifi.

Free and Opensource Icons (shameless self link). Most are provided in PNG format. I'd check out the work of Alexandre Moore and Silvestre Herrera.

If you just want the default icons, you can use a freeware icon extractor to pull them out of the executables and dynamic link libraries that contain them and save them as ico files.

An example: Icon Collector, available here.
