I doubt it, since Shell_NotifyIcon() makes a copy of the specified HICON, 
which the system then takes ownership of, leaving your original HICON 
untouched.

What I usually do, however, is store my system tray HICON in a TIcon that 
stays alive for the lifetime of the tray icon.  When I want to display a new 
HICON, I update the TIcon before then issuing the NIM_MODIFY request.
