Very nice solution for alternate icons.

If offered, probably best to stick with the Vista Shell32 I would think. Seems with every O/S, Shell32 grows in icon count. Wouldn't want to reference some Win8 icon only to crash when app run on Vista if that icon exceeded the Vista Shell32 count.

Just FYI. If using this in IDE, a simple workaround for WYSIWYG (see icons) is to farm off the TaskDialogAPI call to the Indirect Dialog call (not available in his sample project). That would allow you to display icons during IDE easily enough & though that Indirect call has a lot more options, it includes the basic options of the Direct call. Code change would require a callback procedure added to the project
