Icon Files
I have been trying to create Bitmap Files and then rename it as a Icon File(.ico). I have created the icon Windows paint and also another paint program, (32 X 32 Pixels) and when I load it into my .RC file, I get an error saying:
"resource file ICON.ICO is not in 3.00 format
Error executing rc.exe."
How else do I create an Icon file? Should i save it as a .jpg or .gif file and then rename it to .ico, because the programs won''t let me save the file as a .ico file. I''m Stumped.

There is a tool for making icons. Its called Iconforge. There is a free demo (but it only lasts for 30 days). I think the address is somthinglike www.iconforge.com

Icons (.ico) are not standard bitmaps with a new name. They have their own format (which shares a lot of similitudes with ordinary Windows bitmaps). If you''d like more infos on the .ico format, then take a peek at Wotsit.org.
Personally, I like Microangello when I have some icons to create, but I haven''t tried any other software for years.
