Solution 1

The title bar and system tray use the 16x16 icon, the alt-tab window uses a 32x32 icon.
Does your icon file contain a 32x32 icon?

Comment out this line in the PreCreateWindow of your CFrameWnd derived class

//cs.lpszClass = AfxRegisterWndClass(0);

There is no CFrameWnd and no PreCreateWindow in WTL :(
