Convert bmp to ico

I need to convert a bmp file to a ico file. Can anyone recommend a free
software that does the conversion? Thanks.

Hi John,

1. If you're using VS.NET, add a new icon to your project.
2. (You can open the icon editor by double-clicking the file in Solution Explorer)
3. Paste a bitmap from your clipboard.
4. Save.

I picked up Junior Icon Editor for free about a year ago and I really like it too.

Photoshop has a free plugin you can download to "Save As (*.ico)".
Works great and preserves transparency.

Doesn't support multiple icons per file however.
