The command line program I use for making Windows icon (.ico) image files to apply to shortcuts I make for Windows games I have installed.
png2ico can combine images of different resolutions--for instance a 16x16 png and a 32x32 png--to create .ico files with multiple resolutions, which Windows is able to pick from when displaying icons in Windows, depending on the display size of the icon.
Mostly I'm just making 24x24 icons for shortcuts in the Windows taskbar (although I'm running out of space there oh no)--that seems to be the closest size I can set to keep them as sharp as possible there.
I put a .bat file in the directory with the png2ico.exe that will tell png2ico to convert any .png file in that directory into an .ico:
for /r %%i in (*.png) do png2ico "%%~ni.ico" "%%i" |
