It is not. IDI_APPLICATION is NOT a name that microsoft has given you to
use for your application icon, but an internal window icon handle that
stores the
typical "windows" icon. Of course you can use it that way, but it is not its
purpose
Btw, are you sure that if your don't include IDI_APPLICATION icon,
"allegro_icon" doesn't became the application desktop icon? ;)
