I want to edit favicon.ico so I have a custom icon in IE and other supported browsers.

I have edited them before but can’t remember whem or how.  Initially Windows Paint was opened when I opened the file but that is not much of an editor so I went looking for something better.

Starting here: http://frankieloscavio.blogspot.com/2007/10/ico-files-and-how-they-work-using-best.html I looked at: http://www.axialis.com/iconworkshop/ and http://www.rw-designer.com/3D_icon_editor.php.  I will try to decide which of these to use as they both seem more than what I need.

I also looked at http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/icoformat/trunk/dist/README.html which is free and probably does all I need.
