[...] Now in order to convert an image to ICO format, just drap and drop the image onto the box. That’s it!Secondly, it supports the new Vista ICO format, which supports 256x 256 high resolution icons in PNG format. Finally, it’s more powerful and has more features than ImagIcon. Once you run it, you’ll see a box pop up with a green arrow pointing into it. If you right-click, you can set the options for the conversion.Overall, it’s a nice program for quick conversion to Windows icons. It’s portable and doesn’t require an install. You have a huge range of sizes and formats to choose from for icon sizes and colors. Plus you can batch convert many images to icons by just dragging multiple image onto the box at once. Enjoy!

ToYcon is a simple and powerful idea… whose implementation fails miserably.

Just dragging and dropping a BMP/etc onto the on-desktop icon for ToYcon is wonderfully simple, but the big question is where the resulting icon will be – the desktop? no. Your Documents folder? No. After that, your guess is as good as mine.

And it can’t even cope with that most basic requirement of an icon – transparency.

I spent an hour trying to get ToYcon to work, and failed. I then spent 5 minutes with IcoFX, and succeeded. Which one is on my PC now?

@Catboy: I removed this link that you provided as it pointed to an old version of ToyCon.

@lightningwolfe: I just re-downloaded ToyCon and uploaded to VirusTotal.com. It shows that 2 out of 36 virus/malware scanners list it as “suspicious”… which is to say 34 out of 36 give it a clean bill of health. I am certain that it is 100% clean.

Installed ToYcon and quickly had it deleted by AVG which said it was infected with Trojan HorsePSW.Goldun.KG!!

Not sure what’s going on… (maybe I just didn’t use enough deodorant this morning.) But better safe than sorry. Sad. It looked nice.

Yes the link given here is messy… especially when you can’t read french… I downloaded directly from Softpedia. They tested it as spyware and virus-free:

Well. Real mess with links and versions
The link in description brings you to French site where is a link for v0.4 that jumps to Softpedia with v0.5… but descriptions stated that 0.6 tested…
After all that AVG detects Trojan in Updater.exe
which is most likely False Positive but after visiting many places in a search for the file… who knows ???…

You truly deserve the title Freewaregenius. The last three programs listed all found their way to my harddrive. No other freeware sites finds as much hardly known and good programs as you do.

Congratulations with your new president. I hope he will be a good one!

Nice – better than AVEIcon. The UI is a bit minimal, but it’s all there.
