Found this from a website:\n\n============================================================\nScript:     Adding An Icon With Your URL - Two Methods\n\nFunctions:  Whenever anyone bookmarks your site, an icon\n            will subsequently show up on their Favorites\n            list.  When your site is visited, the icon\n            will also show in the URL box of the browser.\n            \nBrowsers:   IE5+, NS6+, later FireFox, Opera versions, etc.\n\nAuthor:     etLux - after Microsoft\n============================================================\n\n===========\nMethod One\n===========\n\nSelect any standard Windows icon file. The .ico file *must*\nbe in standard Windows icon file format, or it will be\nignored.\n\nRename the icon file *exactly* to: favicon.ico -- all\nlowercase.  No deviation from this is allowed.\n\nPlace the favicon.ico file in the 'root' directory on your\nweb server (where your main index page is). \n\nWhenever your site is bookmarked, the icon will subsequently\nshow up on the visitor's Favorites list.  When they visit\nyour site, the icon will also show in the URL window of the\nbrowser.\n\nThat's all there is to it -- it's automatically picked up by\nIE5 and later browsers. \n\n===========\nMethod Two\n===========\n\nInsert the following LINK tag in the <head>...</head> of\nyour pages.\n\n<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico">\n\nChange the path and icon filename to correspond to the\nlocation of the icon file on your site.  The icon graphic\nfilename should be lowercase, no more than eight characters,\nand the extension must be .ico.\n\nAs above, the file *must* be in standard Windows icon file\nformat or it will be ignored.\n\nWhen you use this method as opposed to Method One above, the\nLINK REL code should appear on any page that might be\nbookmarked.\n\nDon't forget to confirm that the icon file is actually where\nyou say it is in the LINK REL path!\n\n==================================\nMore Information - Creating Icons\n==================================\n\nThe following is an exact quote from Microsoft®:\n\n"For Internet Explorer 5, the required size of a shortcut\nicon is 16x16 pixels. To create the icon, use an icon\neditor, such as the one included in Microsoft® Visual\nStudio® or one of the many other icon editors available.\nRegardless of the program you use, make sure you set the\neditor to create an icon that is 16x16 pixels. Otherwise,\nthe icon will be ignored by Internet Explorer."\n\n================\nTroubleshooting\n================\n\nWe've noticed occasionally quirky behavior with this IE5\nfeature on several systems.\n\nIn many cases the icon will not appear on your machine until\n*after* you perform the following steps:\n\n   - close *all* programs but the browser\n   - navigate to a neutral site, off your own url\n   - remove any and all bookmarks (favorites) to your\n       site that you may currently have\n   - clear the History and the Cache of the browser\n   - reboot, clear the Recycle Bin\n   - reboot again, bookmark your site\n   - reboot [sigh] again...\n\n============================================================

for some questions this form of question and answer is unsuitable, a dialog would be more useful. ok anyway -\ntry the following (if not already done): right click on a free area on the desktop and select "arrange symbols" and then click "arrange automatically". this will place your desktop icons on a fix location. then try again to click on a icon - does it still disappear ?

To make an animated icon, you need to create an .ANI file. You can do this with any program that supports the creation of files of this type, such as Microangelo Animator.

irst, you have to create a logo for your site; a very tiny logo to be specific. The size of the logo should be 16x16 pixels and it should be saved as a Windows icon file (logo.ico for example). If your image editor doesn't support saving files in Windows icon format, you can use the following online tool or download an icon editor from a shareware site.\n Once you have an icon file with your logo, you're ready to take the final step. Following methods will work in Explorer 5.x and higher without having any negative effects on other browsers.\n \nMethod 1\n\n    This is the easiest method to implement and it will work regardless of the particular page on your site users choose to add to their favorites list. Don't worry if you don't have access to your web site root; take a look at the next method.\n     \n    If you have access to the root of your web site, simply save your icon file as "favicon.ico" there. For example, if your web site is "www.chami.com", your icon file should be available at "www.chami.com/favicon.ico". The web browser will look for favicon.ico whenever your site is added to the favorites list and if it is found at the root of your web site, the icon will appear next to the link to your site. \n\n \nMethod 2\n\n    If you don't have access to the root of your web site, you have to add the following tag to your web page so that the browser will know where to look for your icon. Unlike before, this time you can save the icon under any name ending with ".ico" We'll use the name "logo.ico" and assume that your web site is under the directory "~your_directory".\nhope that this helps

While you can change the icons for various file types using Windows Explorer as MoreAcidThanAlkaline noted (and you can browse for other files containing icon resources), you can also change the icons in existing executables to your own custom icons (or create your own resource DLLs).\n\nTypically, the icons for the operating system shell and for various applications are stored as "embedded resources" either in the application (.EXE) itself or inside of a dynamic link library (.DLL).  Note that DLLs may also have different extensions.\n\nUsing a "resource editor" (I've included the link to one called 'Resource Hacker' below), you can modify the resources embedded in these files.  Note that resources can be binary data, images (such as icons), dialogs or even text strings, that are used for user interface messages.\n\nThe Win32 API (which resource editor programs use) allows for a developer to create their own applications that can modify these resources.\n\nWhen you have a resource editor, look at some of the files in your &#92;Windows&#92;System32 folder.  USER32.DLL is one dynamic link library that has embedded icons.

A lot of sites promise free icons, but most of them are either shareware, which you actually have to pay for, or they don't even have any icons. Those are traps, to lure you into buying some other junk, or to get you there so they can put spyware on your computer. There is one site with some good icons, but you have to look through a lot of junky ones, and some of the categories don't have much that is worthwhile.\n<http://www.coolarchive.com/icons.php>\nWhen I really want a good icon, usually I have to design one myself.

you can very easily make one with an icon maker or with a photo editing software. I recommend IfranView\n\nwww.download.com  \n\nsearch for irfanview \n\nresize it to 60x60

Try Iconpackager, though it isn't free, it will cost you $14.95 but you can try it for 30 days free.  Not sure if they have "24" icons or not.\n\nhttp://www.download.com/iconpackager/3000-2195_4-10529875.html?tag=lst-0-1
