I use " irfanview " for this, but other app's will do it also. With the image open, File> Save as...> select from drop menu '.ico' > OK out. Note that large fotos, with lots of detail tend to get 'washed' out, so your end product may not be quite what you envision. Put that new image into 'icons' folder:

I first noticed this after I installed Vista SP1, however I removed it and all of the icons are back to the way they were. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20090131023532AASL5kg Now looking through some of the start menu folders I see that the icons are indeed turning black again. The same thing is happening on my desktop - this is also for programs like iTunes and AnyDVD, legit software that had icons before.
