Can anybody please tell me how to make Explorer Bar Icons for Windows? Tried googling, but coudn't find any proper tutorial.
I have moderate self taught knowledge of Photoshop. Can it be done using photoshop? If not, is there any other freeware that can be used for the purpose?
Thanx for your time.
