Go to Control panel, Themes.
Save your current settings as a theme (call it anything you want).
Save the theme, and all the icons you need from c:\program files\plus!\themes\ to floppy.
Install it on your laptop.
If you don't have theme support on the laptop, go to

http://www.freethemes.com

and get the theme installer (free).
Most other icons are in shell32.dll Cheers,

there are a lot in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SHELL32.DLL and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\COOL.DLL.

There are many colorful icons in C:\WINDOWS\Moricons.dll. Many of these are related to MS and non-MS products, such as Word Perfect, Paradox and Quatro Pro, but others don't relate to any specific product.
Happy hunting!
