I use the IconBuilder plugin:

...but not in Photoshop. I use the only major graphics package designed 
from the ground up for making UIs:

I'll spare the folks here my annual raving about the radically wonderful 
workflow shift Fireworks offers, and invite them instead to just give it 
a try and see if it gels with them as it has for me:

Can't say; never bothered with it.  I have four other OSes on tap 
whenever I need them with Parallels.  The notion of requiring a reboot 
(not to mention the time-sink of reformatting partitions) just to use 
another OS seems primitive these days.
