At their root level, they are nothing more than small images.  You can 
create them on the platform of your choice.  I like to use the Mac.  
Either Photoshop or Graphic Converter will do (as well as any other 
graphic program).  Graphic Converter has one nice touch as it will allow 
you to save the file as an .ico file for Windows.

Currently, you must make sure that the PC icon file is 16 colors.  That 
is the big limitation there.  On the Mac, it can be 256 colors.

The icon program I use on the PC is:  Axialis AX-Icons 4.5

Those of you who run Virtual PC on the Mac can simply copy the image 
from the Mac side to the clipboard and paste it right into your icon 
editor of choice on the PC side.  Save it and your are done!
