222 Windows Icons = MYICONS.DLL
All 222 Icons included here (32x32 pixels, 16 colors) can be used for any
Windows 9x/NT/2000/ME/XP/3.1x application/game/directory/folder shortcut,
internet/URL/remote link, program group, menu item etc, or for your favorite
DOS programs/games started from custom PIF shortcuts (MS-DOS Program
Information Files) in protected Windows DOS sessions/boxes.
HINT: Some of these icons are dedicated to Lucas Arts Star Wars PC games + id
Commander Keen DOS games fans. Have fun. :)
This archive contains the single file version of my 222 icons (MYICONS.DLL),
in .DLL (Dynamic Link Library) format, compressed for reduced file size and
convenience.
You can also download these 222 separate icons in .ICO file format [126 KB,
FREEware]:

I have converted (compressed) all these .ICO files into MYICONS.DLL using:

600 individual .ICO files (32x32 pixels 16 colors Windows icons ONLY!) into a
single .DLL library [8.5 KB, public domain]:
