- Edit images -- if you want transparent backgrounds, delete the background from the image -- then save as .png file, max dimensions 72pixels x 72pixels at 72dpi.
- Go to convertICO.com and have it converted.
- Save the .ico files to a place that is not in the way -- I created a folder called "ICOs" in my documents folder library.
- Right click over an item and go to properties --> customize --> change folder icon, and point to the .ico file.
- If you want to change the icon of your desktop items such as "computer", "network" or your trash can, in Windows7 you would right-click over the desktop then select "personalize" and choose "change desktop icons", and so on.
When you're creating icons that appear in your browser's tab -- see the doggie in this page? -- it's almost the same, except it gets saved as "favico.png" and the image size should be 16 pixels x 16 pixels.
