I used this one here just recently (for embedding some transparent 
PNG-resources), did the job:

Oops, download links on that page for reseditor appear not to go anywhere 
anymore.  :(

You could use http://melander.dk/reseditor/

 

Or you can use any tool capable of creating/editing ICO files and simply write 
a resource script (*.rc) to incorporate the icons into a *.res file as 
required.  Delphi will compile the *.rc file for you though I don't recall 
off-hand whether you declare it as {$R filename.rc} or {$R filename.res} (with 
the IDE picking up the RC file by association with the common stem in the 
filename) but I'm sure there is documentation somewhere that will clarify on 
that point.

Either way tho I would use a separate, dedicated and additional resource file 
rather than the one linked to the DPR filename (if you aren't already) to avoid 
the IDE trampling over it.

D2007, and one of my oldest programs uses a resource file with a couple of icon 
images for the application and I want to add a couple more.

The Old Program used to have 2 states I showed via different taskbar icons, now 
it has 4.

 

Problem – I cannot recall how I originally edited the resource, and D2007 does 
not seem to have any tools to do it.

Resource was originally created at least 2 Delphi versions and 2-3 PCs ago and 
whatever I used I don’t have now.

I have also D10 Seattle in case it helps...

 

The alternative is to put the icons into an image list and use these to change 
the application icon, but I am not sure if the image list holds icons OK and if 
this works until I try it.

 

I know later Delphi such as Seattle has snazzy tools extensions around 
Application icon and toolbar buttons etc.

 

Any quick advice on the simplest and most painless way to do this would be 
appreciated.
