favicon.ico
on your Web Site
By Eli A.
If you use Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater, you'll notice that when you visit your Favorites folder,
certain bookmarks will have a custom icon next to them. You can create such a custom icon for your site's
bookmarks!
If you put a favicon.ico
file in the root of any website, IE5 will
use that icon when adding it to favorites (like in MSN and Yahoo!).
This icon need to be a 16x16 icon.

This link also presents some JavaScript code that will allow a user to add your site to her favorites
list through simply clicking a link or button or image!
Happy Programming!
