and most of the icons on my desktop are custom made as ico or pngs

I have been using this prog for years it is simple to use and is a small download. It wil create Icons, I have done it several times. I find 32x32 pixels gives a better Icon than 24x24 and windoze will still recognise it. If you get all the plugins you will find there is also a very fast and small mp3 player which can be good for identifying obscure mp3 files.
