PNGs are made with Macromedia fireworks, to use them in paint you can just open them in it, but if you want to make slices, I recommend getting a trial of macromedia fireworks.

Incorrect. PNGs are very unlike PSDs. PSDs allow you to edit the file layer by layer, while PNGs only allow you to edit the image as a whole. I would suggest PNG however for the best quality, not as good as BMPs, but takes much less space.

oh, you probly mean how they have a grey background? basicly, you make it transparent and then you can use it, save it on your cpu then open it in paint ;)

save it on your cpu
Don't you mean save it on your hard drive, because there is no way to save something on your CPU (central proccesing unit).
