With an image manipulation app that will let you set the size in pixels of a given image an let you save it in the .ico format, you can turn any image into an icon. IRFANVIEW is one such app, and its a small footprint, simple-to-use freebie with no scumware attached.

To actually apply the icon to a program shortcut once you've made a .ico file:

- Right-click a shortcut & click Properties
- On the Shortcut tab, click the Change Icon button
- Click Browse and find the icon you want to use, within a .ico, .exe or .dll

Ok...I think I will go download one of those programs and see what I can conjure up out of it haha. I used Paint Shop Pro 7 to make the images that I wanted to use for icons on my desktop. And there are a few .gif files on the internet I would like to have as icons. So thank you for the links...I'll get back with you as soon as I can figure all of it out.

I have to edit in here that your link didn't show up correctly. I did however figure out what it was. Jsut as a heads up :wink:
