I've been playing with this for a few days and just found something that people might find helpful. A free, online png->ico converter.
I just made a bunch of them and it's quick, easy and did I mention, FREE!

Making icons for all my tabs and considering taking some pics to make a speed-dial tab (now that I found the makephonecall.exe file).
Starting to look good.
I figured out how to create an insert icons in the tabs, but I haven't been successful in creating icons that will work
in the pages. I can create a speed-dial, but the best I can do is use another program's icon. If I can't do that, I'd be OK with creating some text to designate what the image linked to.
