Icon Library Format | Microsoft | System Files |
ICL (Windows .ICL Icon Library File) is a file format used by Microsoft Windows operating systems to store libraries of icons. ICL files are created from folder and other icon sources and can contain up to 5,000 icons. This file type stores grouped icon images with ".ico" extension and other data associated with the icons. Due to compatibility, it is also possible to view these files in other operating systems.
Design
ICL files are made up of several data streams, including author information, color depth, and the image data which is usually stored in the.ico format. When opened in a text editor, ICL files typically display strings of scrambled code pointing towards the location of the image sources, as well as the internal name of the source folder. However, it is not necessary for the user to understand this as ICL files are chiefly responsible for storing links to image files.

Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ICL) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ICL extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ICL file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ICL extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ICL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ICL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ICL file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ICL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ICL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ICL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
