Yep 🙂 I _think_ you can use Microangelo ([link](http://www.microangelo.us/)) for that, but I’m not sure if that program can convert GIF to ICO. Although it should =)

yes it is an icon file (Do’h!) I’ve done this before with a few apps.  
Go into paint, create your icon (or open your gif file). Ensure it is a good size (E.G. 32x32px). Then simply save your file as _filename.ico_ (replace ‘filename’ with whatever you like 😉 ) I’m sure that works, but then again it has been a while since i’ve done it, so i may have remembered wrong…

Yea but if you want to be super cool and make .icos with transparent backgrounds then you need Microangelo. With that software you can also create cursor files.
