Custom program/folder icons?

[animez]

Can someone please direct me to a good walkthrough/program for creating custom program and folder icons? I've searched and searched and can't really find what I'm looking for.

I don't want to download a cab of icons someone already created, I want to be able to create my own icons and assign them to whatever folder or program I want. Maybe my search skills are just lacking, but I can't seem to find what I want.

Showaco on XDA has a program called reStart that looks like it might do the job, but it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while;

I won't be able to try it till this afternoon, if it works I'll report back.

I would appreciate any suggestions, cabs or links. Thanks in advance.
