Where are Icons stored?

It may, by default, be stored in the same place as your *.cdr drawings.

When I create an icon, I move a copy to my GMS** directory (I use my own icons for my macros) and associate it with a macro. And I still have the original in my directory hierarchy of artwork history.

It really does not matter where you may store the created icon, too much, as the Customization commands allow you to navigate to where-ever your own icon may be kept, when you associate your own icons with commands/macros.

** C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel Graphics Suite X4\DRAW\GMS\   or

    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Corel\Corel Grpahics Suite X4\DRAW\GMS\     (for WinXP, Win 7 slightly different, but similar tree)

EDIT:

Re-reading your query, I jumped to the wrong conclusion. Shelby's answer is probably the one that you are looking for. My answer dealt with the creation of the icon and not where the assigned icon ends up.....

Icons are saved in the DRAWUIConfig.xml file, they are pretty easy to spot in the XML as it will be a large block of letters/numbers/symbols. The XML file is saved in your AppData folder and under the workspace you are using.

So on Windows 7 with CorelDRAW X6 using the default workspace my file is here:

C:\Users\Shelby\AppData\Roaming\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6\Draw\Workspace\_default\DRAWUIConfig.xml

Hope that helps,
