There are a couple of ways to do this. First, if the program in question has an *.ico file within its folder, your problem is more or less solved.

The second way would be to determine where the icon is located - usually, it's within an *.exe or a *.dll file. In order to extract the image from that file, you could use a 3rd party software, such as Resource Hacker or IconsExtract.
