Can't attach icon

This action has been taken to attach an icon to WPF code:

Using Visual Studio, create Resources dir (place sample.ico in dir)
Right click Resources -> Add -> Existing Item -> select sample.ico
Right click sample.ico -> Properties -> Advanced -> Resource
Add

The icon displays properly on the dialog box. However, it does not display properly when the .exe is placed on the desktop.

I found this needs to be added:

Right click Project -> Application -> Resources -> Icon and manifest -> Icon: -> select sample.ico

The entire procedure (I think I have it right):

Using Visual Studio, create Resources dir (place sample.ico in dir)
Right click Project -> Application -> Resources -> Icon and manifest -> Icon: -> select sample.ico
Right click Resources -> Add -> Existing Item -> select sample.ico
Right click sample.ico -> Properties -> Advanced -> Resource
Add
