Because you are loading a file and it expects to find one in a path.  It works
analogously to ReadFile; you can use a local relative path, but if you toss in
an "http", it fails also..

If this is the same site, have you tried a relative path?

I'm not familiar with the control you are using there, which may play into the
problem - what is the ProgID or a common name for it?

LoadPicture supports *only* file system paths.  It has never supported HTTP urls.

urls.

I'm going to be useless for a reasonable answer on this part since I haven't
used that before. I'm hoping Michael has a good suggestion (he usually does).

My guess is that you'll need to write a VB UserControl that encapsulates and exposes an ImageList control with images loaded at design time rather than at runtime.  

Of course you'll then need to deal with packaging, signing. and installing it on the client:

How to Package Components for Internet Distribution
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/delivery/download/tutorials/button...

You'll also need to implement IObjectSafety on your UserControl:

Q182598 - HOWTO: Implement IObjectSafety in Visual Basic Controls
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q182/5/98.ASP

This is a pretty good illustration of why I personally would never consider using TreeView, ListView, and ImageList controls in IE...
