>>OK, so I added a new icon to my project and customized it there. I guess that would mean that it is a resource file. However, when I set up the icons (in both of the places you mentioned) I pointed to the file in the file system, and the property sheet seems to see it. However, when I launch the project, it goes to a generic looking icon.

That was exactly what I needed. I didn't realize that an .ico was a collection of bitmaps, instead of just one. I figured that it would resize itself when it needed.

I also found out how to do transparency from that article, which was going to be my second question.
