Anyone can tell me how to extract the icon from exe file and make use as
ImageIcon in java?

ImageIcon ii=(ImageIcon)fsv.getSystemIcon(new File("abc.exe"));

I had try this code before, but the icon that get out is very bad.(big
pixel)
Got any other way to extract it out in better look.

Thanks

I'd use a resource editor to extract it in bmp and then load in Java.
Actually, exe can have many icons, so it should be a way how to
specify which one.
