When you compile an exe you just need to browse the icon in the Custom Resources and that's it. You don't need to Include it.

I did a test and found 2.5 makes a 30k program about 90-100k

unless you add an icon!

Then it puts the entire icon in your program per it's size.

My 90-100k program jumps to 170+ with an 80k icon. So if you embed an icon, be sure you use a small one.
