You write a program in NASM for Windows and want to add an icon to appear when Windows Explorer lists the EXE. How do you do that?

In this video, I used ALINK as a linker. Although it comes with a compiler for RC scripts, I used Resource Hacker for this, as it's more intuitive and works on 64-bit Windows.
