There are a variety of standard sizes, based on what OS and programs you’re working with.

Review < http://www.photoshopsupport.com/tutorials/jennifer/favicon.h tml> and download one or two of the plug-ins.

While Photoshop doesn’t natively support the ICO format, there are are plug-ins available to support saving files to the ICO format. One of them, freely downloadable, is at <http://www.sibcode.com/icon-plugin/index.htm> and seems to work pretty well from what I can tell. For use with PSCS2, that download provides both ICO and PNG plug-ins but you can ignore the PNG plug-in since CS2 has native PNG support.

Apart from using a plug-in, you can create BMP files that might work as icon files by simply changing the extension to ICO. But, that is less reliable and I suggest a plug-in approach is a better solution.
