Ah yes, that reminds me of my fix that I hope Derek implements (my 
changes are marked by --BKB:

in Win32Lib_full.ew:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
procedure registerClass( atom szClassName )

    -- register the application class
    atom wndClassEx
    --BKB begin (added)
    atom exw
    exw = allocate_string("exw")
    --BKB end
    
    -- get some memory for the window class structure
    wndClassEx = acquire_mem(0, SIZEOF_WNDCLASSEX)

    -- build the structure
    store( wndClassEx, winExSize, SIZEOF_WNDCLASSEX)
    store( wndClassEx, winExStyle, or_all(vWindowClassStyle))
    store( wndClassEx, winExProc, WndProcAddress)
    store( wndClassEx, winExClsExtra, 0)
    store( wndClassEx, winExExtra, 0)
    store( wndClassEx, winExInstance, instance())
    --BKB begin (modified)
    store( wndClassEx, winExIcon, w32Func( xLoadIcon, { instance(), exw 
} ) )
    --BKB end
    store( wndClassEx, winExCursor, w32Func( xLoadCursor, { NULL, 
IDC_ARROW } ) )
    store( wndClassEx, winExBackground, WindowColor+1 )
	    	    	      
    store( wndClassEx, winExMenuName, NULL)
    store( wndClassEx, winExClassName, szClassName )
    --BKB begin (modified)
    store( wndClassEx, winExIconSm, w32Func( xLoadIcon, { instance(), 
exw } ) )
    --BKB end

    if w32Func( xRegisterClassEx, { wndClassEx } ) = 0 then
    abortErr( Err_REGCLASS )
    end if

    --BKB begin (added)
    free(exw)
    --BKB end
    
    -- Free structure
    release_mem( wndClassEx )
    
end procedure

With this fix in place, you only need to use setIcon(Win,"some.ico") for 
unbound programs, and it doesn't hurt if you leave that line in your 
bound program...

Now your icon shows in the window title bar, the system tray, *and* the 
alt-tab window.

Not sure why Derek decided to hold off on adding this...
