For simple stuff like puttin an icon in a res file just use a text editor and do this:
1 ICON MyIcon.ico
Then save it and follow the steps I outlined above...
Also look at simonets sample project - it quite good, though it is oriented towards resource DLLs, it will show you some useful information.

Last question, hopefully, can i add an existing .ico file to my existing .res file using any of the methods mentioned?

No rwilson, the brcc32 did not report any errors.
when i opened the .res file, the icon is present but i cant edit it or even view it...
can i add icons in my res file without erasing the old icons in the res file?

You should be able to add items to the res file using the image editor:
Right-click on the contents item in the tree view, select new and a popup will appear asking you to choose the type of resource to add...
