Hi,
I want to extract the Icon/Thumbnail (different size) of a file from windows shell on my project. I am able to extract the thumbnail with out any issue, but the problem came when working with files that don't have thumbnail view. The issue is I am not able to get the bitmap as the windows explorer shows. I am getting a black color where explorer is showing a nice gray shadow.

I have uploaded
1. The image I got for an html file,
2. The image as shown by windows explorer,
3. The sample source code
at

Any help here is appreciated.

Regards,
Manoj
