My approach was slightly different as I added a separate resource file to the project and added icons to it. I tried what you suggested (adding icon files to the resource file accessible from the project's property page), but it still didn't work.

When I say it didn't work here is how I qualify that. I create a short cut. Click the Change Icon button. I receive the following warning messagebox: "The file [filepath here]\MyApp.exe contains no icons. Choose an icon from the list or specify a different file."

I did get some relatively good hits when I googled it so I will research it further.
