Hiya,
Found some info milling around the net:
From: http://www.favicon.com/
'What is an ico file?
An ico file is actually a repository of bitmap like images. They are
used because in some locations a 16x16 pixel image is desired, and
sometimes a 32x32 image may be needed. Sometimes a 16 color image is
desired, and sometimes a 256 color icon is desired. This repository is
scanned for the image size/color count appropriate for the location and
the computer's color capability. If the image is not ideal, it may be
compressed, expanded, and/or colors may be modified producing unexpected
results.
Isn't an ICO file just a renamed BMP?
NO. Although some people have said an ico is a BMP, this is not true.
Think of an ICO file as a repository of BMP images. It has its own format.'

And, as always: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
Cheers,
Luis.

Yes you are right: people often use gif, png or jpeg files for
favicons but this can be known parsing the html code where you can
find something like:
<link rel="icon" href="images/favicon.png" type="image/png">
My problem is with '.ico' files.
I thought about this issue some time ago and all I could think of was
to use altBrowser to display the ico and then export snapshot that area for
making the jpg. I never actually did this as I didn't need the dang things
that badly ;-)
ciao,
sims
