ICO files are just simple bitmaps. 

the ICO gets associated with a 'link' to another program. More or less
what Micro$oft call a 'short cut'.

from .ico format to something useful like PNG

  A disciple of another sect once came  to Drescher as he was eating his
morning meal. "I would like to give you this personality test", said the
outsider, "because I want you to be happy." Drescher took the paper that
was offered him and put it into the toaster, saying: "I wish the toaster
to be happy, too."
