wine users - Feb 2009 - Smth. about "Icon=" option in .desktop files created by WINE

When I install some Win32 application using WINE, it creates associated menu
item file for it, located at
~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/***Program title***/***Program
shortcut.desktop***. Well, inside this file I see option named "Icon",
where path to some icon is set. Sometimes this path points to some PNG image
file, but sometimes it points to something I don't have a clue about, like
that one: "Icon=4e90_flv2mp3.0". Could anybody tell a newbie what does
that means? And, how does WINE exctract icons from EXE files and converts them
into PNG? Could I somehow do it by myself, if a program I install has no
installation file, so I have to manege it manually?

That's a filename (without extension) of an icon extracted by Wine. Look for
them under ~/.local/share/icons

Based on .lnk file information. See source of winemenubuilder for details.

With some 3rd party resource explorer probably. Wine does not provide such
functionality.
