Comments:

This isn't extracting icons from files. This is getting the icon of the program associated with a file's extension. E.g. foo.pdf will return the Adobe icon.

The technique is nothing special, just the Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon method of the framework.

I've tagged this article appropriately.
