If you mean the icon that appears in the Web visitor's Favorites list, threre
are two ways to make such icons
appear:

o Place an icon file named favicon.ico in your Web
server’s root folder. For example, put the file at
www.example.com/favicon.ico. When the visitor adds any
page from your server to his or her Favorites list, your
icon will appear next to the link both on the Favorites
menu and in the Favorites pane (which appears on the
left in the browser window).

o If you don’t have access to your Web server’s root
folder or want certain pages to display a different icon,
add a tag such as the following to the <head> section of
the Web page:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/fp-iso/iconjjb.ico">

This is a line of code you’ll need to insert by hand.
Switch to Code view, and enter it just after the <head>
tag or just before the </head> tag.

This technique adds an icon that behaves just as in the
first method, but only for the Web page that contains
the tag.

There are two restrictions to the use of such icons. First, they work only
with Internet Explorer 5 and later. All other browsers ignore them. Second,
the icon must be exactly 16 by 16 pixels in size and be in Windows icon file
format. Files in this format usually have a file extension of .ico.
