I don't think it's a good idea calling DetachResource on *any* resource
coming from the System file. Somebody else may have a copy of the resource
handle, and they end up using your (mangled) private copy instead.

If you want a private copy, use HandToHand. This gives you your own
handle, leaving the original resource one untouched.
