Not easy, but here's a lot of information.

Basically, it's an ICO file.

Why not just load it into paint.exe then save as whatever format you want? Or you could download ffmpeg (free) and do

ffmpeg -i myfile.ico myfile.jpg (or whatever format you want)

ffmpeg can also be used to convert video between any formats. Also subtitle files.

ffmpeg is a portable app (no installation required) but is more convenient if you add the bin folder where you unzip it to your system PATH environment variable.
