How do I load an icon from a dll file in VB? I've tried: LoadPicture("c:\...shell32.dll,25"... and no luck.

I don't know about get an icon directly from a file but have you tried extracting the icon with a hex edititor like Exescope? and then saving the icon and then using that icon?

There's already a Post (http://www.vb-world.net/tips/tip136.html) on this site about this.
