ExtractAssociatedIcon

Need some help with the ExtractAssociatedIcon function,
When I use the function the return value is the handle of the associated icon, but it is in 32x32 format which causes the icon to be blurry when i use the DrawIconEx at 16x16 size.

Therefore I chosed to extract the 16x16 icon manually by using the path that GetAssociatedIcon is supposeed to receive (IconExe variable and IconIndex variable).

but the problem is that the function always receive the "c:\windows\system\shell32.dll" file?! instead of the actuall icon file. It causes the extracticonex to always receive the same icon.. why????

anyone have a solution?
