That is according to the Default load order, is it not?

That is one of the problems about using native dll's.  They want other
native dll's.  If you like, you can try again with native shell,shell32,
and shlwapi and hope they don't choke on some unimplemented function in
some other builtin dll.  Or you can try to implement the unimplemented
function in shell32, if you have any idea what is an Associated Icon
and how to go about extracting one. If you get it to work, send a patch.
If you need help to make up a patch, just ask.  That I know how to do.
