  You can load specific icon sizes from an icon via LoadImage

  1. There is a PickIconDlg

  2. There is a sample how to enumerate resources. You can enumerate the icons and just count down the icon count. Nothing else is done in ExtractIcon

  ok, but how do I determine the name of the resource to pass to LoadImage(), because I'm letting the user pick the program, soI wouldn't know at compile time

  ok, that would work but I don't know the names of the icons. I'm loading them from user supplied executables. I've been loading them using ExtractIcon() which only needs the filename and the index of the icon to extract it, but I can't scale the icon with this function. Is there a function that can scale an icon that is loaded or load an icon based on its index and scale it

  No! The icons with ExtractIcons are only exracted for the standard sizes. You have to load the executable as a ressource and enumerate them. Than you can extract the icons with LoadImage
