The ManagedWindowsApi project (http://mwinapi.sourceforge.net) provides an ExtendedFileInfo class that contains utility methods for file information.

static extern TODO ExtendedFileInfo(TODO);

Declare Function ExtendedFileInfo Lib "shell32.dll" (TODO) As TODO

However, this does not work if you want an icon of a drive or folder. In that case, you can use the ExtendedFileInfo class provided by the ManagedWindowsApi project (http://mwinapi.sourceforge.net).
