It depends on what you exactly need.
If you need just to get an icon associated with a file extension,
you'll need to use ShellAPI functions in Windows, and different API in
OSX. I guess there should some similar API in Gtk/Qt for Linux, too.

If you just need to extract an Icon of the program's exectuable...
well you can use Application.Icon.
