Adding menu item icons in VS2005

OK, this should be an easy one...

I have figured out how to add Icons to my menu items (Right click item - set image). This however only allos you to use image files, none of which I can get to work with transparent backgrounds.

How do I get it to use .ico files for these icons?

If you use standard menu items the File, Open etc. all have built in icons...where are those and how can I point to them to use???

Thanks
Michael

Thanks Kinger247. Newton's law at work, I had tried that originally but when I tried to load the .ico it gave me an error. Now trying it again it worked!

Thanks...points awarded.
