Still can't get it to work.  I've tried removing the flags altogether and 
just specifying the hight and width but it still fails.  I know the icons 
are there because i've used microangelo and other resource hackers to 
examine them. WinXP Home and Pro and 2k3 all have 238 icon objects and the 
Id's 132 & 163 are perfectly valid.  I don't understand how to use the api 
if i do specify LR_DEFAULTSIZE but want to load a specific size icon i.e. if 
i want to display the x16 or x48 icon.
