Now, now, Phil may be an unwitting victim of Microsoft docs.  There's
actually a Knowledge Base article that makes a similar claim, in response to
a question like "how can I use a .bmp file as an icon?".  The answer says
you can rename .bmp -> .ico, and Windows "converts it".  In fact it does no
such thing, and indeed you can use a .bmp file as an icon without even
bothering to rename it.  It's trying to say that Windows converts it on the
fly when & if a .bmp is used as an icon; the disk file remains untouched.
