Where are the program icons for Outlook 2013 stored? - outlook

Can someone please tell me where the program icons for Microsoft Outlook 2013 are stored? I am referring to the icons used in the actual application, such as those shown below.
I know these icons are stored in DLLs or EXEs somewhere and I know how to extract the icons. I just need to find the source file(s). I've used a program that searches all folders and subfolders within a given directory and displays all of the icons that is finds inside of any file. I have run it on Program Files\Microsoft Office, Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office, and a few other folders. Although I do see a few of the Outlook icons in the results, those I show above in particular are nowhere to be found.
UPDATE:
To clarify, it's not just those 8 or so specific icons that I am looking for. I can't find ANY of the icons that are actually used in Outlook 2013. I find several older Outlook icons, maybe 2010 or so versions, but none of the 2013 ones. So, for example, I can't find these either:
Basicaly, ANY of the icons in Outlook 2013.
Please help!

There is no information where and how Outlook icons are stored. They can be stored as a binary data that's deserialized at runtime. Note, you can take a screenshot and then crop the required image there.
You may find the Office 2010 Add-In: Icons Gallery add-in helpful.

The process for extracting the files for Office 2003 is nearly identical to Office 2007, have at look at this question:

find [OUTLOOK.EXE] and send to desktop as shortcut
Open using this shortcut
Drag shortcut to your task bar
Icon will be back

Viewing binary files in MSVS under Windows 10

For ages I've been using MS visual studio 15 to view binary files, simply by doing file|open. My files have a custom extension, 'SQ3', but VS seemed to happily infer that they aren't text, and display them as binary. However, Win10 seems to have stopped that. Now if I do the same thing, a popup appears, asking me whether I want to find an application from the shop, or always use this application (presumably MSVS, the one I'm invoking from). There's a proceed button, but it doesn't respond. There seems to be no way that I can get VS to open and display the file.
Is there a way to stop the OS intervening so VS can do its thing?
Incidentally, having to rename files would be extremely inconvenient in this situation. TIA
Thanks, that's perfect.
In Visual Studio go to Tools/Options/Text Editor/File Extensions.
Add new entry to the list:
Extension: sq3
Editor: Binary Editor
Click Add and then OK to close the dialog. Files with .sq3 extension will now open with the hex editor when opening them or dragging them to Visual Studio.

microsoft office 2010 logs - last used date office programs

I need to determined whether a user used office in the last 3 months.
Where can i find a log or something that can give me that information in windows 7.
Thanks!
You can see the last used date of the execuatable file.
It should be in C:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/ folder. Find the .exe file for the office program you want to check. eg: word, excel, powerpoint.
Right Click and select properties. Under the general tab you will see accessed with a date and time.
You can also do this on the desktop and start menu shortcuts.

Can I use one of standard Outlook's previewers to preview other file types?

Outlook's "Windows TXT previewer" only previews attachments with extension .txt.
Is there a way to tell Outlook (2010) to use "Windows TXT previewer" on other type attachments?
For example, I would like to use it to preview .csv files and some other extensions that are just text.
Here is a registry change:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.CSV\ShellEx]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.CSV\ShellEx\{8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f}]
#="{1531d583-8375-4d3f-b5fb-d23bbd169f22}"
Here {1531d583-8375-4d3f-b5fb-d23bbd169f22} is GUID for text previewer (listed among HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PreviewHandlers) and {8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f} is special ID that identifies previewer for this filetype. It may be different for other verisons of windows, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc144143(v=vs.85).aspx may or may not have more details
In order to achieve your goal, you have to change some entries in the Registry. Preview HAndlers have GUIDs that are stored in the Registry. For each filetype, if there is one available, there is a preview handler.
For .csv files you need the Preview Handler from Microsoft Excel since a .csv file is Excel.
Another method: install Preview Handlers.
Download PreviewHandlers2007_01 and run it.
A folder called PreviewHandlers will be created
Don't worry because of that file name. That file containing "2007" worked very good for Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010.
Go to PreviewHandlers\Installer and run Install
Probably it won't work because of Microsoft Visual J# is missing.
Download Microsoft Visual J# Version 2.0 Redistributable Package and install it (probably it appears as vjredist in your download folder)
Run the Install file again.
Restart Outlook
You will be able to see the content of that CSV attachment as a table.
If your goal is just to preview files like .csv, .log etc. within Outlook message panel, it is directly related with default program in Windows (operating system).
So, in Windows Explorer add default program:
- open the folder containing .csv file
- right click on the file and choios in the menu "Open With..."
- Choose Default Program
- Select desired programe (Notepad++, Excel, etc.)
- Restart Outlook

Custom file sorting in VS2010 Solution Explorer

Is there any way to force Solution Explorer in Visual Studio 2010 to sort files alphabetically but in order *.h, *.inl and *.cpp?
I want to have
Dummy.h
Dummy.inl
Dummy.cpp
Emmy.h
Emmy.cpp
Grammy.h
Grammy.cpp
instead of
Dummy.cpp
Dummy.h
Dummy.inl
Emmy.cpp
Emmy.h
Grammy.cpp
Grammy.h
No, there is no such feature built in.
I don't know of any extension or add-in that supports this, either, but I imagine that you could create one. Get started with the Visual Studio SDK, or browse the Visual Studio Gallery for something that serves a similar purpose.
However, the Solution Explorer does support grouping related files (such as headers, resources, and code files) into virtual folders. Turn that feature on by deselecting the second button to the left at the top of the Solution Explorer window labeled "Show All Files".

VS Add-in to open a solution

I am writing Visual Studio 2010 add-in. Purpose of this add in is to show all the VS solutions from a particular folder. We have around 100 solutions under our trunk folder. After add-in explore the folder and listed out solutions, developer would click any one of those solution to open it in same VS window. I have already a created a windows form in C# to list the solutions. Now I need to write a code to open the selected solution into the same VS window. I am not expert in Add-in writing. Any help would be appreciated.
Take a look at the Solution Load Manager extension. Source code available here.
