You can add your icons to your project simply by adding them as existing
files. Just remember to click on each of the icon files in Solution Explorer
and in the Properties for that file, click on Build Action and set it to
Embedded Resource.

You'll have to add them as unmanaged Win32 resources. IIRC this is not
supported by the IDE. However, you can compile the files using the command
line compiler. Win32 resource files (RES files) can be created using VS.
