Can you use a static GIF and an animated GIF and switch between the two as necessary?  You would avoid the need to have lots of .ico files then.
No you can't use gifs, there icons.  You could however put the icons in a resource file and load the icons from the resource file.
Never mind, it was just a thought ;-)
