To get a large icon from a DLL or executable use SHDefExtractIcon from the shell32.lib<\/p>\n
HRESULT SHDefExtractIcon(

This function is supported since Windows XP.<\/p>\n
Icon size contains the required size in pixels. Use MAKELPARAM(large icon size, small icon size) macro to get the correct value. Icons will be resized to the requested size. Use 0 to get the default size.<\/p>\n
Sample code:<\/p>\n
SHDefExtractIcon(L”c:\\\\Windows\\\\System32\\\\shell32.dll”, 0,0, &iconLarge, &iconsSmall, MAKELPARAM(256, 0));<\/p>\n
