An icon is a graphic image that represents an available function on a computer's graphical user interface. They look like a standard image file, however, to create an icon, you must have a special software program capable of creating and saving an image in ICO format.
. I recommend using a great shareware program called Icon Easel. You can download it at the following web address: http://www.easyapps.com

I can tell you how I do it, without adding any software.
I take a .jpg, and capture the pic as a .bmp, then rename
the ,bmp to ,ico.
Of coures I do have a screen capture program.
