Just start as large as possible and not at 16x16 or 24x24 inmidiatelly. Try to use the vector elements and prefereble illustrator. The XP effect is nothing but a gradient in xp colors (see microsoft site about that) with a light soft shadow on top, outlines in the colors of the gradient and a small dropshadow right bottom. Just take a look at the current icons and you'll see what i mean. For the icons you need to be able to draw a little or show some creativity.
