I want to get the windows system icon(s) for a file type without necessarily providing an existing file path (required by SHGetFileInfo)
Is this possible, or do I have to resort to creating temporary files or reading the registry?

Yes is possible using file extension as first parameter in SHGetFileInfo.
You must also use SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES flags.
