   @fourat53, this looks like the same request as #1171 (same file extension: .exe), which was closed as not planned. If it's something different, please say how, and a maintainer will take a look.

   Thanks, @fourat53. The bot pointed at the earlier .exe requests, but yours is different: those asked to convert a program, and you want the icon inside it as an ICO or PNG.

   That's a clear thing to ask for, because a Windows program stores its icons as resources in the file. So I'm taking off the not planned label and keeping this open as a request. It isn't scheduled yet.

   For now: 7-Zip can open many .exe files. Look in the .rsrc folder, under ICON or GROUP_ICON.
