when I open the application icon of a MFC-project with Visual Studio 2008 there are 13 images (different sizes, different color palette). How would you change the icon of your MFC-application without changing each image?
Thanks!

I like to use the Icons file type extension with Paint.NET. When you open a .ICO file it will prompt you for which image to open – select only the largest / highest-bit image. Make your changes, and then save. You will be prompted for which sizes and bitness to save – select the same list that was present in the original icon.
Using this method, you will get automatically scaled and dithered icons at the smaller sizes. A designer would actually tweak the icons at each size to get the best look, but for most applications this technique produces something that is usable.
