RE: Editing .ico files

["Richard L Hamilton" <dick -at- rlhamilton -dot- net>]

I suggest GIMP, which is open source, and which can save
in .ico format. The link below provides a description of
how to create a favicon file, which is in .ico format.

Even if you are not doing a favicon, I suspect the article
will still be useful:

ws-icon-file-including-transparency-with-the-gimp

Here's a tinyURL version: http://tinyurl.com/dfsczu

Hope that helps.
