Actually, you can create a .bmp image, rename it to a ,ico extension and
viola', you have a new icon.  I've taken small .gif images, resaved them as
.bmp images and then renamed them to .ico extensions and they've worked
perfectly fine as icons (at least on a PC).

Thus any image program that can convert to .bmp format will do, and the ol'
Windows Paint program will create/alter .bmp formats.
