This will be a real .NET 101 question but I am struggling to locate an easy to understand solution.
I have icon files that are used by buttons, menus and forms in my Windows Forms application.

How can I store these so that I may simply reference them in my project and the project will know where to find them at run/compile time?

Right now when I use an icon I click the property to assign the icon (e.g. Winform.Icon) and use the Open file dialog that is displayed to "hardcode" an icon to the property. This works but really is a pain if I want to change this icon in 20 or so different places (First I must remember every property that I changed to point to a particular icon and then I must alter that property to point to a new icon).

Any suggestions?
