Do you have additional icons added to your .exe (in .res files)?
Delphi stores them by alphabetical order and includes the default icon
as MAINICON. If you've added icons with names coming before MAINICON,
they'll be the ones showing up in Explorer (which uses the first icon
by default).

I've solved that problem in one of my apps by prefixing all my icon
names (in the .rc file) with Z.
