Amazingly, moricons.dll is still included with Windows 10. This contains icons from Windows 3.0.

(it should be called "moreicons.dll", but this was from when filenames had to be 8 + 3 characters long)

I felt so cool in Grade 5 when I found that file. I had discovered that EXEs could contain icons, and then found some 3rd party program that loaded one from a DLL, so I went opening random DLLs until I saw that filename. What a rush! Where were all those programs? I found out many, but some were still a mystery.

This was part of whatever that Win3.1 thing was that would scan your disk for programs it recognized and add them to Program Manager, right?
