   Brian:

      Look at the WNDCLASSEX structure in windows. You will find a

   member called cbClsExtra which specifies the number of EXTRA bytes

   to allocate following the window's instance. Now if you can convince

   David ( or edit your copy of win32lib ) to allow you to change

   this size to fit your Icon. You can store your Icon there and it

   will always be available no matter what you call your program.

   You will have to figure out how to get it's offset, I think you

   can use GetWindowLong with nIndex and use that to grab and copy

   out 32 bits at a time.
