256 color icons in 16, 32, 48 pixels
32-bit color icons in 16, 32, 48, 64 pixels

these are enough for use on xp, vista and 7.

Dont select the icons at design time, load them using code below and 
resource file, having icon above 64x64 size is pretty useless and it only
increases the size of application. I only use 16, 32, 48 size icon with 256 
color and xp color each.

I would recommend microangleo icon editor, actually there are many good 
freeware too.

use 32-bit alpha icons in vb6 apps
