Hi all, just got two quick quesitons regarding ExtractIcon - can't seem to 
find the answers anywhere.

I have a UI and i want to display the (default) icon for a give executable. 
I'm using a TImage and i want to display the resultant icon as a 16x16 
image.  I use ExtractIcon to get the target applications icon (using 0 as 
the last parameter) but it always returns me a 32x32 icon - maybe i'm 
missing something about the HICON ? but could anyone tell be how to get the 
16x16 image or convert this.

Also, if i assign the returned HICON handle to a TIcon 
(Image1->Picture->Icon->Handle = ExtractIcon(HInstance, "some.exe", 1)) do i 
need to call DestroyIcon() when i'm finished with it?

Thanks in advance,

Mike
