    how to create the icon from png 32x32 with so many different icons?

    I tried to convert png to ico, but it only created this sizes:

    16 × 16 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 379
    24 × 24 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 380
    32 × 32 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 381
    48 × 48 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 382
    32 × 32 (16.8mil colors) - Ordinal name: 383

    after replacing pnidui.dll file, taskbar does not show internet connection icon at all

    as i understand it is becuse my icon doesnt have all sizes and colors, could you please advise a tool that can convert 32x32 png to ico with all set of size and colors?
