Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this post.

I am on W2k, and I have a number of icons show up for the applications I can open up through my status bar (Like Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Flash, etc) I am curious as to where on my hard drive are these icons stored so I can use these icons within a web page.

Look forward to your advice.

The icons are normally compiled into the EXE or DLL file. Be careful of using icons like that, you may run into copyright problems.

You are correct! I was just wondering to use to show browsers etc. .

Really, there's no point in digging those out, because they consist of multiple bitmaps, and only the tiny one is displayed in the browser.
Taking a screen shot of an ico in thumbnail view, and saving that in some image format from mspaint.exe is another option.
