Icon index

Microsoft VC++ 6.0 /SP3

I'm creating the shell shortcuts for my app. I need to specify an icon index for the shortcut.
The question is: what should I do to assign the certain icon index to the icon resource?

Usually, I declare the icons by names, not by numbers (see below).
I tried both ways. I placed the icons to the beginning of the RC file and in alphabetical order.
Nothing helps.

Here is my RC file. The first two icons must have the indexes 0 and 1.

I tried:

1)   1  ICON "App.ico"        
     2  ICON "Apptrace.ico"  

Result:
Encprop_Icon has index 0
Lock_Icon has index 1
(Encprop_Icon is a first in the alphabetical order among all other icons, Lock_Icon is a second one).


2)   App1  ICON "App.ico"        
     App2  ICON "Apptrace.ico"  

Result:
App1 has index 0 (as required).
Lock_Icon has index 1

What is going on?



// RC file ********************
