MSDN Library January 2001 / Platform SDK / User Interface Services /
Windows user Interface / Windowing / Windows / About Windows /
Application Windows, in the section heading "Nonclient Area":

    ``The title bar displays an application-defined icon and line of
    text; typically, the text specifies the name of the application or
    indicates the purpose of the window. An application specifies the
    icon and text when creating the window. The title bar also makes
    it possible for the user to move the window by using a mouse or
    other pointing device.''

and in the reference for WNDCLASS:

    hIcon 
    Handle to the class icon. This member must be a handle to an icon
    resource. If this member is NULL, the system provides a default
    icon. 

I beleive this is where you set it.
