I have the icon in the folder with all the project files but I am not sure
what is the resource file and how do I find that?

In a Project file ( .DPR ) you should see :-

{$R *.RES}

This tells the system to include: AppName.res

Your best bet is to start up a new Project and play around, when you
add an Icon in Project/Options then you should see PROJECT1.RES appear
in the same directory as PROJECT1.DPR and PROJECT1.EXE
