What are the exact dimensions for a Windows application icon

c#, wpf

Solution

Well, the desktop alone can use almost any standard (Joey named most, if not all, of them) size.

I find it works well to combine 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, and 256x256 (and maybe more sizes) into one .ico file. I use IcoFx, and it is super easy to create multi-size icons from one 256x256 image.

Problem

There are different dimensions for taskbar(big icons, small), desktop, start menu, etc. What are all dimensions one needs for a Windows application? And is there a way to put them all into a single file? I have already designed the icon in Photoshop.
