Don't know if this helps, as I'm not 100% on trayicons but,
1) LoadIcon has been superseeded by LoadImage:

    LoadImage(HInstance, "DISABLEDICON", IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, 
LR_DEFAULTSIZE);

2) Form what I remember, there's a TrayIcon vcl that comes with builder and 
uses an TImageList to hold the various images that you may wish to assign.

3) My experiance of including other resource files with the automatically 
generated (AG) resource file has thrown up many problems.  I've always found 
that when the reource linker tries to combine my other resource with the AG 
resource file I get errors or the combination does not occure as predicted. 
Generally I always remove the AG resource file and replace it with a 
completely new one (including main icon, version info and other resource) 
created in Visual C++ (thats the only thing it's good for).

4) Have you tested handle that is returned from LoadIcon to see if it is 
sucessful?

Just some thoughts,
