I was looking for a way to get a particular graphic, and came across this utility.  I thought it might be useful later.

Background

The general idea is to pull out icons that are embedded resources to DLL's or EXE's. The way it's done is with the old fashioned Win32 API's.

I wasn't familiar with how to get a website to repsond without the “www” in front, and when I went to do searches on it, I wasn't too happy with the results.  So, I am creating this entry just to remind me how to do this simple little task.

To get a website to respond to the “domain.com” and the “www.domain.com”, using Windows 2003 Server for DNS and for IIS, the following are the steps to take:

1.  add a host header for “domain.com” and “www.domain.com” in IIS.

2.  add an “A” record for “domain.com” and “www.domain.com” in DNS.  (Note:  You can use an Alias(CNAME) for the “www” entry instead of a Host(A) record, but you have to enter an A record for “domian.com”.)

I don't know if anyone really ever does this, but I thought it was interesting.  It is a tool that lets you embed fonts in a web page so that people can see the font you created the page with even if they don't have that font installed.  If someone knows of a more current way to do this, let me know.  I was just browsing when I cam across this and wasn't too concerned about be up to date.
