| .ico file making I'm looking for a program that I can use to make .ico files, I've found a few of them on download.com but not too many that really sound good. I'm looking to help my users have some cool stuff they can download from my site for custimizing their computers. I'm looking for one that will allow for 256x256 size images and support clear backgrounds and so on. hoping for a free one, if you have a link or know were i should look please help me out.

when you simply change the file names extension to .ico and try to get windows XP to recognize it as a valid file it gives an error message and says the file is no good.

| You do it directly from the home page. It generates the file for you, you simply upload the image you want it to use. Firefox is better anyways so you should just make the switch.

I did just download a program from download.com called "Icon Suchi". It's doing an OK job, but I still could use a better program.

create a little more site devotion so to speak, I don't expect many to use them but I'm sure a few of them will. I have some really devoted people that are all about the site.
