If a fallback to LoadImage is added, keep in mind that LoadImage will work with .ico files only. AFAIK the issue with the hippo.ico file had something to do with the compression of the PNG file used to create the .ico file and the the fact that Vista is generally anal retentive regarding compressed files. As a result, as Chuck found, 'hiding' the icon in a DLL bypassed Vista's qualms about accessing an icon that contained a compressed image.
