How to get system's file extension associated icons?

Original idea was found at CodeGuru. I extracted the required source files and did some minor modifications. Example of how it can be used:

   CListCtrl serverListCtrl;   
   CShellList shellIconList;

   shellIconList.CreateImageList();
   serverListCtrl.SetImageList(&shellIconList.m_Small, LVSIL_SMALL);
   serverListCtrl.SetImageList(&shellIconList.m_Large, LVSIL_NORMAL);

   for(...) {
      icon = shellIconList.AddExtIcon(file->name);
      serverListCtrl.InsertItem(nCounter++, file->name, icon);
   }

Check out the FtpUpdate project on this site to see how it could be integrated.
