Making Icons?

I would like to make some desktop Icons, but I don't know what to save them as, or the size. Anyone know? I assume you can use photoshop for this, right?

There are several standard icon sizes for Windows XP, depending on the display option chosen. Pretty much all I know about the subject I learned from twiddling with a program called Microangelo, which is the standard for Windows icon creation. The free trial download is available here.

I used microangelo also,
That is the best. Then you can save multiple versions (16 x 16 24x24 and 32x32 in one file.

Windows also can handle a 32x32 or 16x16 bmp image (256 colors) which is renamed to .ico Only I'm not sure about icons for webpages for a renamed bmp...
