You can't decide the size of the icons, this program won't let you frustrating!
Icon from image wizard
Icon from image wizard
The Icon from Image wizard is a good way to start turning your pictures into icons. While it not as fast for converting multiple images as the batch operation is or does not allow you to modify your image before converting it like the manual mode does, it is very simple to use and offers a couple of presets.
After the wizard is activated on the Create page, the following window appears:
Select an image file and click the Next button. You may switch to thumbnails view (via the View mode button in the upper right corner) for better orientation and you may also open an image from the tagged storage.
In the next step, the icon type is selected:
This window contains all the options of the icon from image transformation as well as 3 buttons with presets:
- Toolbar icon only contains a 16x16 images in default color depths and is suitable to be used in menus, toolbars, or as a favicon.
- Win XP icon contains sizes from 16x16 to 48x48 pixels and can be used to customize your XP desktop or applications.
- Vista / Win7 icon is similar to XP icon and additionally contains a 256x256 pixels image formats. When creating Vista icons, your source images should be big enough: either exactly 256x256 pixels (if you are not adding shadows), or larger than 1000x1000 pixels.
Clicking the preset buttons in the lower part of the window resets all changes made to the configuration of created formats. You may adjust these settings after choosing the format.

Of course you can. If the standard sizes do not fit you, click New image button in the second step above the list and define your own image to add to the .ico.

This software is terrible, to cunfusing and cant implement text clearly 
It can be confusing... though using text on .ico files is a bad practice. If you are creating something like a forum avatar, you probably want an ordinary image editor instead.

Uploading images is a pain. When uploading a picture you must fist save the image as a tagged item and then you are able to load it. Then it is what ever image you had
