download 'Irfanview' a free program that will let you save any image file as a ".ico" (windows icon)

Windows "small" icons are 16x16 pixels and large ones are 32x32 pixels...

In answer to your question, you CAN create icons in photoshop...but i think you either need a plugin, or have to resave it in the Irfanview program tj_nt referred to.

There is also png2ico available here.

You can save an image as a 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, ... PNG file and then add one or more of those to a .ico file using png2ico.
