How do I create an icon in Visual Studio 2005?

Tags: Microsoft, Visual Studio, 2005, icon
I'm trying to create an icon using Visual Studio 2005 following these instructions http://www.codeproject.com/KB/graphics/HowToIcon.aspx.

I'm not a Visual Studio programmer.  I use Access VBA and PHP.  However it seems pretty straight forward.  I created a Windows Application project then selected Project>Add new item and selected the icon template.  I selected New Image Type and 32x32 and 256 colors.  I drew a squiggle on the icon canvas and saved the icon.  Icon1.ico appears in my project folder.  If I preview it it looks OK, but it doesn't show itself s its icon in the Windows Explorer detail view and it doesn't work as an icon for a shortcut.

Any ideas?  I attached the file as Icon1.txt since this system does not allow .ico extensions.
