About this tag
BeCyIcon Grabber is a utility for extracting icons from 16-bit software, particularly useful on Windows 8 and later versions where native support for 16-bit icon display has been removed. Users running legacy Windows 3.1 games or other 16-bit programs on Windows Vista, 7, or 8 can use this tool to retrieve and view icons that would otherwise not appear.

This tag covers discussions about using BeCyIcon Grabber to recover icons from older software on modern Windows systems.
