I didn't know that!  What you are saying is that when you define the group
entry and tell it which icon you want to use it goes off and reads it and then
stores it someplace else allowing me to delete the .ICO file or zip them. 
ZIPing is the obvious answer either by subject or alphabetically.  As long as I
get decent size .ZIPs that don't slow my tape drive down I don't really care
how they're stored.

Thanks for the clue!
