When you are in Wordpad and you browse to the Accessories folder, if you
right-click the icon
for the Sound Recorder and select 'Properties' and select the Shortcut tab you
should see this path in the Target:

%SystemRoot%\system32\SoundRecorder.exe


Yes.

If you click on the 'Change Icon...' button you should see the same path
in the: 'Look for icons in this file' box.


I don't get the chance, because when I click "Change Icon" the system tells me
that it could not open C:\Windows\System32\SoundRecorder.exe.
Which of course, is not true, it should have said:
"Could not find any icons in C:\Windows\System32\SoundRecorder.exe".
Which is the case the programs that don't show icons, don't have their icons
in the exe file and I don't know in which file I can find those icons.

Below that should be the mic icon.


No, not if the system can't find it.

MsPaint has this path: %windir%\system32\mspaint.exe

MsPaint is fine, it have icons in it's exe file.

Snipping Tool has this path: %windir%\system32\SnippingTool.exe
Is that what you see?


Yes and No. I see the path but I don't see the icon.
Snipping Tool looks the same as SoundRecorder.

Thanks for trying
