There's an image in the VS2010 stock icon pack which is only included as a PNG, which I would like to use as an ICO (I want XP and earlier users to see the icon). How can I convert the PNG into the ICO?

For one-off tasks I usually just cheat: ConvertICO.com .

If you will be doing this fairly often, you may want to consider the free Photoshop plugin.

There's also the Paint.NET ICO plugin.
