You can use ANY image as an icon by following these steps.

Get a good image program suchg as the FREE Irfanview from:-

http://www.irfanview.net/

Load the image into Irfanview and resize to about 32x32 pixels
(Image | Resize menu item)

Use the "Save As" menu item then, near the bottom of the save box,
look for "Save as type" and select
