Yes, I know. But I use SmallImages for representing the status of the files
(i.e. are they locked or not) which are either linked or embedded  to
database whilst StateImages represent their filetypes (checkboxes are not
used, so stateimages are free); ListView is always in report mode. Also
SmallImages are used to show sorting marks on column headers.
I tried to swap image lists for SmallImages and StateImages, but in this
case wrong icons appeared as SmallImages, as you could possibly expect.

Already tried both approaches before attempting to bother Borland community
:). Tried to point to really existing files giving their fully qualified
path without providing SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES flag; tried to pass only file
extensions and set SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES flag. Doesn't make any
difference.
And it happens on every computer where I attempt to launch my application...

Yes, I did it exactly in this way from the very beginning. SFGAO_SHARE was
removed when I tried to use the example provided by Nick Cassos.
Of course, FileIcons->ShareImages is set to true - this list doesn't own
images provided by Windows.

Exactly, but in vain :( I feel that the problem is very simple, but
nevertheless is beyond my comprehension...
