Step 2: (OR ) Make your own favicon.

now you have to make your icon 16×16 pixels. I usually use photoshop to do it and save it as any image format. like [ jpg, gif, png, .....].
call it favicon.jpg , favicon.gif or favicon.png. just choose one format, not all of 3 types.
and we’ll use program called “imagicon” you can search Google to download.its free and only 950 KB.
setup the program and find the icon image that you made it and saved it by photoshop, favicon.xxx
load the image and choose 16×16 win32 icon. save it as .ico.
so it’ll be favicon.ico.
