What can I use in Windows 7 to convert bmp (or jpg/gif) files to ico format?
Hi everybody, I'm wondering if there is some tool I can use for this purpose. I would like to avoid downloading something external. Also I have MSDN subscription, I plan to get the Office 2010, what else besides VS 2010 may I need to install for my regular work? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but I don't want to create an icon. I have a bmp file and I need an icon to add to my form (in Visual FoxPro). What can I do in Windows 7 to change the bmp (or jpg) into ico file?
