I found it easier to edit the project file directly e g  YourApp csproj   You can do this by modifying ApplicationIcon property element    lt ApplicationIcon gt    Path To Application ico lt  ApplicationIcon gt    Also  if you create an MSI installer for your application e g  using WiX  you can use the same icon again for display in Add Remove Programs  See tip 5 here
