    Step one. You create the image (16 x 16 pixels).
    Step two. You save it as a .ico file.
    Step three. You sit and twiddle your thumbs.

    Tada!

    Does PS support .ico files without some extension?

    Just save a normal jpg or whatever.. and use an icon converter (or use that Jaan gave you)

    an icon could also be .bmp format. windows icons are normally bmp pictures with another extention.

    It's best to save it as a 24 bit png first so you can get that nice transparency effect around the edges...

    I think an 8-bit PNG would be a better idea, you can't fit that many colours into a 16x16 image.
