  I hate to disappoint you, but this is not true. It is still saved in the selected format and not as an .ico despite having that extension.

  well, as far as I have tested, I can use those ico files as folder icon. That’s what I mean in my article

  TO SAVE A PICTURE AS AN ICO FILE IN PAINT, YOU NEED TO USE QUOTATION MARKS AROUND THE FILE NAME:

  ie. “Test.ico”

  SAVING THE FILE AS Test.ico WITHOUT THE QUOTES WILL SAVE THE FILE AS A BITMAP.
