Hey RedShadow,
This is a fun one. There are 2 methods.
First you can just put an icon in your root directory on your server called favicon.ico this will work whenever someone sets your page as a favorite in IE your icon will be used.
the other way is like this
<HEAD>
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON"
HREF="myicon.ico">
</Head>
This will set the shortcut icon as well as the icon in the address bar to your icon.
Have fun...

The favicon.ico works only with IE5 :-( .. It was just a note

so users of IE4 and below won't be able to see those icon using favicon.ico? I have IE 5.5 installed and we don't have anymore here versions of IE 4 or below. Does the second method mentioned by thawkins works fine with IE 4 or below? Well maybe if it does not work too most users nowadays (just maybe) got IE 5.x installed
