  Pros

  It can extract 16 bit icons from 16 bit software on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Something that most other icon finders cannot do. It is also free to use.

  Cons

  None at all. You cannot be without this.

  Summary

  I run 16 bit software on Windows 7 and before found this con finder I had to point t one of the icons in the shell32.dill folder, which s not the original icons. But now that found this software I can have the original 16 bit cons for my Microsoft games and Windows 3.1 software. To use it you just select the exe folder on C drive where the exe program file is. It then finds the 16 bit icon and you can save it as a bitmap image then create a shortcut in your start menu or desktop and point to where you have saved the icon. I think it works by converting the 16 bit icon to 32 bit so it shows up on Windows 7 and 8. This software works on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 including 8.1 and also on Windows Vista. A must have and I just wish had known about this tool before. I highly recommend this product for anybody who runs 16 bit software as it will display the original 16 bit icons.

Which althouh are Windows 3.1 icons they were not the original icons. Not any more now that I have found Becyicon grabber. This is also free to use forever which is an added bonus.
