Thanks very much! I was able to get the icon using that.
I will send the routines to Rob.

SHGetFileInfo wrapper
by Aku 2003
=====================

global function shGetIcon(object nf)
        : get the hIcon of a file
        nf = the file name to get the icon from
        return icon handle (hIcon), 0 on failure

global function shGetType(object nf)
        : get the type (e.g. abc.txt = Text Document)
        nf = the file name to get the type from
        return file type (string), "" on failure

global function shGetDisplay(object nf)
        : get the display name (e.g. c:\windows\notepad.exe = NOTEPAD.EXE)
        nf = the file name to get the display name from
        return display name (string), "" on failure
