How to get MyComputer Icon?

[sn4k3]

ExtractIconFromFile will only work with exe files ( at least to my knowledge )
You are right with needing API though.

You need the following to achieve what you want :

API
SHGetFileInfo

Structure
SHFILEINFO

Constants
SHGFI_ICON
SHGFI_SMALLICON
SHGFI_LARGEICON

I did something similar in VB.NET ( unfortunately ), here's the link :

It should give you an idea of what is needed.

I hope my advice was helpful.
