| | This is sooo simple!
First off get yourself an image anything from about 25x25 or over, nothing too big!
Save the image (.png is the best format)
Then change the file extension from .png to .ico!
Its as easy as that!
Now go make some icons!

Ah, but how do you apply them to the particular filetype? I orginally asked you about this because I wanted to make all the .php files on my computer show the PHP logo. So I dl'ed the logo, changed the size, extention, etc. But how do you apply them to that filetype? Heh, I got ya here don't I?

Open a folder on your computer. Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types -> Advanced -> Change Icon  This changes the icon for a single file type, for example all .php files.

Right click, Properties, Change Icon, Browse, Find your icon, select it, apply, your done. Altho for making an icon i usually use normal pictures (jpeg's, gif's) and scale them down a bit so they are good quality then i use a free icon converting program and just open the file and save it as .ico or even as a curson .cur. Hope that helps and icons are very easy to make. **EDIT, i really need to stop just scimming thru the posts, yes my method will only change the one icon of one file or folder and not the .php files in general, to do that you will need a registry edit, try google.

there is a program that simplifies all this. i think it's called microangelo or soemthing like that. google can probably find it, it makes every thing so much easier for makeing and applying icons.

Webpage favicons are easy. Just put an icon called "favicon.ico" in the same directory as the webpage and add <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"> to the head (between <head> and </head>) in the HTML document. There is one really nifty webpage which generates an icon from an image you upload. It's here:http://www.html-kit.com/e/favicon.cgi Just pick an image to upload, klick on the "generate" button and download the zip.

there are a lot of high quality apps that allow you to create high quality icons- not ones that just resize a given image, but actually give you control. A favorite, and -extremely- inexpensive favorite of mine is by the Iconfactory- http://www.iconfactory.com. It works simply as a Photoshop plugin- nothing could be simpler and more productive than that, man. With IconBuilder, you can not only create the icon but in high quality resolutions, and decide what icon to show depending on the size of the icon- this is especially important for lucky mac lovers- as Panther allows for -insanely- large yet beautiful icons. Also, it was mentioned about getting an error changing the icon for your cd. Well, I'm not an expert on pc's as I am a mac addict, but yet again the IconFactory has your perfect extremely inexpensive shareware solution- Candy Bar, and it is -kick ass- ...trust me. or just see for yourself.

QUOTE(JSonicC @ Dec 20 2004, 10:57 AM) Creating these ico files will cause errors. They also will be poor quality and especialy as icos are scaled. If you do a google search you will find a program that can make correct icos and dlls from images, and they will also indclude transparentcy. Not if you create them at the correct size initially. I believe that it is 64x64, although I am not sure about that. Also, png and gif files support transparency, so if you create it using transparency and then convert the extension liek that, it should work out all right. I believe that I have done this before, although I am not completely sure.

more space to do your stuff especially if you are doing some image editing, and that requires a huge
amount of resolution size. There is an argument whereby you can increase your resolution to make it
tinier so that you can have more space but then again, the problem with making the...
