not too bad

to make it your icon, right click on your desktop go to properties

click on the desktop tab then on customize desktop, in there it shows my computer/documents and you can change the icons

I was looking around today on if it was possible to make .ico files with Adobe Photoshop. Before I would always download some free program whenever I needed to make an ico file, as by default Adobe does not. So today I was looking around and found this excellent plugin for Adobe Photoshop that gives you the option to save a file as a .ico

Go here:

For me I had to download the Windows package, which you can also get by clicking here:

Now all you have to do is extract icoformat.8bi to your plugins folder in adobe. Now the next time you start Adobe you will have the option to save, make, create, and load .ico files!

i haven't tried the plug-in for ps, but you shouldn't need to do anything with your OS...

no no no

There's just downloads for different os.

I got the windows one. Then just moved the icoformat.8bi file into ps/plug-ins/file format.
next boot it was there.

EDIT: icons are 30x30pixels
