Thanks for any help and advice (which I hope won't be "search is you friend, Newb!" ).
There are many places you can find icons. Google as always is your friend. But if you want some really cool ones poke around www.deviantart.com.

an .ico is not a simple image file. It is actually a set of images that are fomatted for multiple sizes and color setups. A single ico could have 12 different icons in it such as 48X48 RGB, 32X32 RGB, 48X48 256, 32X32 256, etc... There are many very good icon editing programs I use Icon Workshop which is amazing. http://www.axialis.com/
