Comments:

The CopyIcon function enables an application or dynamic-link library (DLL) to get its own handle to an icon owned by another module. If the other module is freed, the application icon will still be able to use the icon.

Before closing, an application must call the DestroyIcon function to free any system resources associated with the icon.
