The icon index is used when the icons are coming from a binary file like a .dll or 
.exe. It is the position of the icon in the file (a negitive number is the inverse 
of the resource ID). Omit the comma and Icon Index when using an .ICO file.
To get the index create a shortcut, right click and choose Properties, then Change 
Icon, then Browse. Select the file and click open. The icons are numbered from 0 
downwards then across.
---------------
ie:  0  3  6    
     1  4
     2  5

Here are some files containing icons:
Windows\System\Shell32.dll
Windows\Progman.exe
Windows\System\Cool.dll

Hope this helps to sove your problem.
