Improved automatic selection of icons for software licenses?

DenalB. What an excellent idea. I have Just found a piece of free software that lets me extract *.ico files from *.exe files. where I don't have an *ico file listed. What I like about the software is it also lets me save the file as *.ico and not *.bmp or *.jpg

@1P: Two things I have found as I manually changed some icons in 1P on my Windows PC

Firstly, when I changed the icon and saved the record the icon changed for the record but not in the list of Software on the left hand side. For that to change I had to back out of 1P and come back in again. Thinking about it, maybe I didn't have to back out of 1P but just changing the category from Software to Favourites and back again would have had the same effect. No that didn't work. I've just changed another icon and had to back out to get the List of software to update.

Secondly. Sometimes when I saved the record I got an error message saying something like "The Software can't be saved" and something about encryption. I'm sorry I did not catch the complete error message. Anyway the error message was an error in itself because the record did save although the new icon did not show until I selected another record and than went back to the first one. In that case too the left side list did not change as in point 1.

Reading what I've written makes me feel I've been a bit muddled in my explanation. Feel free to tell me if it's not clear.
