favicon.ico, in any folder of your website. All pages below and in that folder will have the icon when saved to the favourites.

Not sure really....

but apparently all you have to do it call your icon favico.ico and stick it in your Web Directory.

Not to sure if thats the right name though.

Yeah, that's worth having, don't see it used too much though, only on tutorial websites or websites with loads and loads of pages.
Smaller independant websites don't make use of this.
The thing I found with this was that it disapeared after a while, like if I restart my PC, it vanishs.

slightly off topic, but if you ever wondered about how web sites can add their logo to your favourites list, they use .ico files.. Here to go fo little known nuggets of knowledge http://www.favicon.com/

Make it in MS Paint ..and just save it as a .ico file.

You may have to surround the name in speach marks when saving it though, so if it doesn't work the firts time, try it again with speachmarks:

e.g. "MyIcon.ico" instead of MyIcon.ico

Thank you for dealing with this so promptly it's nice having a service provider that offers a good service, rare to find nowadays.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
