No worries, in the article where it states "Open up the Application tab of the Properties page of your project" I was looking in Solution Explorer and of course there was no Properties/Application tab - you need to right click the project then select properties - then click the "Resource" radio button of the application tab and point it to the .res file you created earlier - recompile and bingo - there are all your icons visible when you browse your exe/dll using change icon in Win Explorer - thanks again - also the .res file is reusable for other projects
