How to get the bigger icon

Question

I CAN get the associated icon just fine, and draw it accordingly, however, I want to extract the FULL Icon information not just the 32x32 (or the 16x16) pixels that the SHGetFileInfo allows.

For instance, I might want to display the 128x128 icon (or even 256x256) that is stored in the icon file inside the executable. And I can only accomplish this with the full file name.

Can anyone help me?

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms648045(VS.85).aspx, LoadImage() uses cxDesired and cyDesired parameters to choose the dimensions when loading an icon.
