Claudio,

The icon references are stored in the registry. Most applications have multiple icons stored internally that the user can select to associate the file with. The API call that would be needed is ExtractAssociatedIcon(). My Icon Extractor programming in the download section extracts icons from the executable or DLL. It isn't a major change, however, to replace the ExtractIcon call with the one mentioned previously.
