The package private class com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsUtils is redundant because the functionality is duplicated in WindowsGraphicsUtils. The WindowsUtils class should be removed from the workspace.

The only class that uses WindowsUtils is WindowsIconFactory and it's usuage should be migrated to use the same WindowsGraphicsUtils method.
