Bitmap.FromFile generates Out Of Memory with some icons!!

[Dana]

I tried loading an icon to an imageList using the following method:

Image cc = Bitmap.FromFile("C:\\myicon.ico");
imageList1.Images.Add(cc);

It works with some icons but generates an "Out of Memory" error with some
others. The strange thing is that when I try to add the icon manually to the
imageList, it adds it without problems!!

One of the icons that generates this problem is:

Can anyone help?

favicon.ico is in a format not supported by the framework (and GDI+), OOM
exceptions are thrown when trying to load an invalid or non supported format
BitMap file, try to save the file in a supported format.
