    Another option is IExtractImage. I just checked and it did load PNGs for me; someone would need to double check to make sure it works on XP (if you limit to Vista+ there's even more native shell options, but this one is available on XP). IExtractImage returns an HBITMAP that ImageList_Add will accept. This obviously requires a typelib, and there's a few out there which have this interface designed for VB6, obviously my top rec being my own, but as a reminder, TLBs are NOT something that you install on an end-user system, they are only required during design time in the IDE.
