Favicon generator

It's a long time since I used it, but the favicon Photoshop plugin on the telegraphics site is what we all used.  

www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/icoformat/trunk/dist/README.html

Something I do still use it for is to create drive icons for Windows.

By creating this tiny text file and placing it in the root directory of any drive and naming the file autorun.inf

In this case Projects.ico is the name of the icon I want displayed for that drive (up to 256 X 256 pixels)

The icon file Projects.ico  also goes in the root directory of the drive

As you can see, this image is full size, but will only display according to the location it is used in (If I am remembering this correctly)

This is how it looks in File Explorer

You can see from Drive G: that it does not pay to be too ambitious with the icon's complexity.  It looked fine when I made it at 256 x 256 pixels, but gets messed up at lower resolutions.
