Steve:

Hrmmmm.  This looks to be what I need.  I'll read up on those calls and see if 
I can get a Declare working for them in RB.  I'm  just now getting to Declares 
in my stage of RB learning.   I'll try following some of Arron's examples and 
see if I can make it work.

Thanks for pointing me at least to the right area of the Win32 API (new 
territory for me).

I haven't any code at the moment but in case it helps your search, I think
the Win APIs you are looking for are:

ExtractAssociatedIconA or ExtractAssociatedIconW (if the latter exists)
DrawIconEx
DestroyIcon

If you can't find any code, I'll try to work some out in a day or two.
