In the old days. An ico file was just a bmp renamed. Might possibly work with png as well now.

New can of worms. ;) It seems to be working (on a different computer atm) but when I dragged it to the taskbar (how you can pin a website) it shows a large version of the default one. I think I need to add those multiple sizes to the ico. If I edit my current one in VS it shows the small one but not alternate sizes (like how the default one does...) Which leads me to a new question, what's the best (easiest/cheapest) way to import images into an ico file. Any freebie ICO editors about? I don't fancy doing it by hand in Visual Studio. Hmm I wonder if VS has an import image in its editor? Not looked before...
