From a cursory (icony?) view, it seems to be missing the ones from moricons.dll, but memory is foggy and it might be that moricons.dll had been dropped by win98. It's been 26 years, wouldn't be surprised to find my memory is wrong.


I’m pretty certain Microsoft wouldn’t have dropped it in Win98. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if that file is still shipped.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane too. It’s been years since I’ve last thought about moricons.dll. Possibly even decades.

For those who haven’t heard of it: https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/6705/what...

Edit: looks like it is still available https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moricons.dll


Yep, I still open moreicons.dll everytime I need a fancy icon for a script shortcut


MORICONS.DLL is still present in current versions of Windows! But (AFAIK) none of the icons were ever updated after Windows 3.1 to conform to newer design standards, so it's reasonable to leave them out of a set of "Windows 98" icons.


There are a few MSIE web icons in there too that would not have been in Windows 3.1.
