When changing the .ico file, right-click on your project in Visual Studio and go to Properties. Select “Application” form the list on the left. In the “Resources” section browse to the icon file that you wish to use for your game.
Note that the .ico file is only used by XNA on Windows game projects and is ignored for Xbox 360 and Windows Phone 7 games. Also note that it’s often easier to edit the existing Game.ico file and make your changes to that file when possible (easier because it’s already linked and is in the correct format).
