Re: Resource weirdness

For example, point Resource Hacker (http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/)
at \Windows\system32\notepad.exe

Go to the 1st ICON, and go to the Action menu, and click "Save resource as a
binary file". The result is 1640 bytes, and is an invalid icon file because
it's missing the first 22 bytes for some reason, but that's the size you get
when you use the resource APIs so that is correct, even though the file is
missing the first 22 bytes.
Then click Action menu and "Save [icon : 1]". The result is 1262 bytes, and
that IS a valid icon ...
