I have now tried many different codes found all over the web, but so far I haven't had much luck 
I need to load the icon from a file, any file (including shortcuts) in as high quality as possible (it's ok if the code only works in Vista/Windows 7)
So far I have only been able to get low quality icons. For shortcuts it was only very low quality, even though the icons used for the shortcuts are 256x256 in size
Those icons should be used for drawing using GDI+
Anybody here who has had any luck finding some code that works?
The closest thing I have found is this:
Access multiple icons in a single icon file - CodeProject
But it is only for ico files
