Many online web applications offer icon and fav-icon generators. Often they are simple to use and work well. That is until you spend an hour plus on a new icon and  lose your internet connection or the page times out. Then “poof” your work is gone forever, lost in internet limbo.

IcoFx is the answer. It is the best icon generator I have used and best of all its FREE! Perfect for creation, extraction and editing icons for Windows XP, Vista and Macintosh.
