nobbe thank you, but enumicons_v2.au3 only shows the icons for dll's and exe's.

danielkza thank you for the code, it looks like it will do what I need to do but I am not completely sure how to make it work.

Func _ShellGetAssocIcon(Const $szFile,Const $IconFlags = 0)
    Local $tFileInfo = DllStructCreate($tagSHFILEINFO)
    If @error Then
        Return SetError(1,@extended,0)

    MsgBox(0,0,@error)
    Return DllStructGetData($tFileInfo,"hIcon")
EndFunc

Don't forget to call _WinAPI_DestroyIcon after you're done with the icon.Check the extra flags in the MSDN page in the first post.
