Hi, Windows uses different Icon sizes which have to be stored into the application: it depends on the color settings of the system which version it chooses. You need the following 'standards' for the two icon-sizes of windows:
16x16, 16 colors (bah! but e.g. Windows NT likes these a lot) 32x32, 16 colors (uhh!) 32x32, 256 colors You may add other - more colorfull icons but this is the basic set. A suitable application for doing this is Microangelo. It is not expensive (it is free for 30 days, I think) and always suited my deeds in a pleasent manner :-) For Macs you do not need a special application to embed icons in applications.
