I've got 3 Logo Icons loaded as a resource in my code.  They are intended for the following purposes;

1)  A 16x16 Icon for the Window Title Bar.  Set with LoadImage(), SetIcon() functions.  Works fine.
2)  A 32x32 Icon intended as the Windows Icon when the user has "Icon" selected in a folder and on the DeskTop.
3)  A 48x48 Icon intended as the Windows Icon when the user has "Tiles" selected in a folder.

The 48x48 Icon appears in folders with "Tiles" selected.  However, when a 32x32 or a 16x16 Icon is called for, it appears as though windows is using my 48x48 Icon and scaling it to 32x32 or 16x16.  Any way of telling windows which to use?

Also, I've got a bunch of buttons that I'm creating using @SysButton but they don't come out like an XP style button.  They just come out the same as the square NT style @Button, button.  Any ideas on how to get buttons that follow system styles?
