Step 4:

You will see the following window. Click on "Browse" and select an executable or dll to load icons from. In our example we will be using c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll (the browse button should place you in your system folder by default - so just select the shell32.dll in that folder). You can also load icons from ANY application on your computer - just navigate to where its executable is stored and select it.
