About this tag
Discussions tagged with 'image data' on WindowsForum.com focus on missing icon resources in Windows system files such as shell32.dll and imageres.dll. Users report that these files, which traditionally contain icon data, appear to have no image data when inspected with tools like Resource Hacker or HxD, despite icons still appearing in folder customization dialogs.

Troubleshooting steps and explanations for this behavior are common themes.
