Actually, you are supposed to use it when you want to have the window's
window standard icon. Let's see if this quote of MSDN docs help you to
understand it =)
To use one of the predefined icons, set the hInstance parameter to NULL and
the lpIconName parameter to one of the following values: Value Description
IDI_APPLICATION Default application icon.
IDI_ASTERISK Same as IDI_INFORMATION.
IDI_ERROR Hand-shaped icon.
IDI_EXCLAMATION Same as IDI_WARNING.
IDI_HAND Same as IDI_ERROR.
IDI_INFORMATION Asterisk icon.
IDI_QUESTION Question mark icon.
IDI_WARNING Exclamation point icon.
IDI_WINLOGO Windows logo icon.
So, IDI_APPLICATION is one of the internal windows icons that window's
offer you to use if you wish so. Same with standard cursors and such.
