I had the same problem until I created a blank icon in paint. I found the instructions on the web. Actually it is easier than you think. Open paint, goto Image>Attributes then change the numbers to 32. Paint the image white and save as an Blank.ico. When you refer to the file in the registry use the full paint file path in place of "filename,##". For Example, "C:\My documents\Blank.ico".
