Hi,

Does anyone know whether the icons in Windows can be used in other apps? I'm creating something involving a treeview of files and it would be nice (and easier) to use the icons that are in Windows already.

Thanks,

Matt

I suspect that they're coprighted, like everything else MS make.

However, you could just draw your own very similar version.
