See the following Microsoft Documentation that (to quote the
Summary):

"...discusses how to design and create colorful and
dynamic icons for Windows XP using a vector program, such as
FreeHand or Illustrator, and Photoshop. (19 printed pages)"

MSDN Home | MSDN Library | Windows Development
Windows XP | Creating Windows XP Icons
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/winxpicons.asp

NOTE: If you are trying to specify a particular icon for a
shortcut, it is possible to use a *.bmp as the icon. Just click
the Shortcut tab, and click the Change Icon button and browse to
the location of your *.bmp file.

Get an icon editor which can do this. You may find such software here:

The easiest way I know is to use Axialis Iconworkshop. You just open your
image in the program and then click on the "convert image to icon" option
and voila!

Cheers.

I use SlavaSoft Paint Express. Just create a new Icon and select the
file from wich to create. You can download it from www.download.com
searching for Paint Express.
