and is downloadable from a mirror at their website

I was struggling to find a freeware application to convert image formats to .ico and finally I came across a website that does this for you online for free. The link is http://www.favicon.co.uk/

Hope you guys find it usefull as well..

its best to use photoshop to create icons, i believe the plugin is called icon factory, just use any image and crate an ico file, simple, easy and fast
google the plugin, type "photoshop icon factory"

good luck

There are a number of image to favicon (.ico) free generators on the web... just google "favicon maker".

I use http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/ most of the time.
