You can use Borland ImageEditor to create icons. Also there is a really nice freeware application:

As I recall, you can only do this directly with C++ Builder 5 and later (it includes a TJPEG class). For, C++ Builder 3, you will need to convert your image to a bmp and then paste it on your form.

Personally, I load a bitmap into ImageEditor and then copy & paste it into a new icon image of the same size. But the freeware app will also do this for you.

Create your icon. You should create several of different sizes, ie. 16x16, 32x32 and for XP 64x64 & 128x128. These can all be embedded in one ico file. Then from Borland C++ Builder, click on Project Options and in the Application page you can set the icon.
