can any one tell me how to change the ie icon that is displayed at the left side of the address in the address bar. Like if visit some company site then the logo of that company will be displayed in place of the ie page how is this possible.
 
It's a small icon called "favicon.ico" (or whatever) along with a little bit of code in your web page.
The icon should be 256 color and 16x16 pixel, although some say a 32x32 pixel one will work.
Code is placed between the <head> and </head> tags on your home page (the one you want people to bookmark):
<LINK REL=&quot;SHORTCUT ICON&quot; HREF=&quot; your website url is.com/your icon name.ico&quot;>
For example, mine is <LINK REL=&quot;SHORTCUT ICON&quot; HREF=&quot;
Get a whole bunch of free icons, or design your own, and learn a bunch more about it at Cheers,
