Ah nice, I didn't know about fromWCharArray, and without that, using WCHAR meant I needed a reinterpret_cast in the fromUtf16 call anyway. I'll change it.

Agreed. And it makes sense to make the library handle static too.

-1. You could make the same argument about not needing to uninitialize COM. It's simply good practice to free what you allocate, or in this case, decrement reference counts when you're done even if you know it'll never reach 0 anyway.

The previous code was just trying to load that temporary file, and would only work if another app had created the file recently (such as the control panel section where the image is changed).
