    Windows obtains several different icon resolutions from the executable. For the taskbar, it uses the either the default 16×16 pixel icon or the 32×32 pixel icon in the screen color depth.

    An example from Java SWT to set the application icon:

    String[] icons = { "icon16.png", "icon32.png", "icon48.png" };
    shell.setImages(getImages(icons));
    

    Windows 7 then obtains the first icon from the image set to display in the taskbar (when small icons are enabled) or the second icon from the image set (when small icons are disabled).
