How do I create icons using VS2012 ??

I've seen no tutorials on how to use the Icon Editor.  I had thought it would be self-explanatory, but it isn't quite.  Well, I should say that using the editor itself isn't hard, but making the icon work with the application is turning out to be a trial.

So, I use Add --> New Item and select "Icon File" to create an icon file.  I now find myself in an icon editor with a default icon.  To the left of the icon image panel I see six different icon formats, starting at the top with 16x16, 4 bit, and ending at the bottom with 32x32, 32 bit.  I select 32x32 4 bit, and edit the default icon until I achieve what I want.

Now, what?  I have an icon, supposedly, but when I look at the icon in the file system it still looks like the original default. When I assign the icon to be the Windows Form's icon it still comes out looking like the default.  How do I make my design be the icon?
