Below from this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICO_(file_format)
Windows XP, by default, employs 48×48 pixel icons in Windows Explorer. Windows XP can be forced to use icons as large as 256×256 by modifying the Shell icon size value but this would cause all 32×32 sized icons throughout the shell to be upsized.[3] Microsoft only recommended icon sizes up to 48×48 pixels for Windows XP.[6] Windows XP can read 256×256 pixel icon images and larger and it can resize them to use if no closer image size is available.[3]
Windows Vista adds support for displaying 256×256 pixel icon images as a separate view in Windows Explorer, and supports (but does not require) the compressed PNG format. Microsoft recommends that all 256×256 icons in the ICO files should be stored in PNG format to reduce the overall size of the file.[7] The Windows Vista Explorer supports smoothly scaling icons to non-standard sizes which are rendered on the fly even if an image is not present for that size in the icon file. The Windows Vista shell adds a slider for "zooming" the icon sizes in and out. With users using higher resolutions and high DPI modes, larger icon formats (such as 256×256) are recommended.[7]
