Windows Application Icon Files

when creating .exe on Windows (XP - 7, assuming it is the same process), what is the format of the application icon? What is a file extension? What size is the maximum?

With applications on Mac OS X, you can right-click the application and select "Show Package Contents." from here the .icns file can be found in the “resources” folder along with other assets related to the application .. icns contain 5 sizes of the same icon file (16x16, 32x32, 128x128, 256x256 and 512x512). an application from the Xcode developer tools called "Icon Composer" is used to create .icns files.

I have no experience working with Windows software development, but I would like to know the best practices for preparing icon files for Windows applications.

Resource Tuner allows you to view, edit, retrieve and replace lines, bitmaps, logos and icons ... All this makes up the visual part of your Windows program.
