This seems to be extracting 32x32 icon only, but I want different 16x16 icon (as stretching the 32x32 to 16x16 looks ugly). I have found a solution using .NET Reflector, some WinApi P/Invoke... well, the thing seems to be, that ExtractAssociatedIcon uses handles, Form.Icon/UpdateIcon uses Icon.ctor(Icon,int,int) to resize the icon to smaller version (to send it by WM_SETICON). This works for resource icons - the Icon.ctor looks for Icon.stream/data, but Icon from ExtractAssociatedIcon does not have the stream, only the handle and thus it's not working.
