Oh jeez, I know I've seen articles about this on builder.com or something like that. You just put a small square .ico file in your root directory with a certain name.... I'll try and find an article.

Unfortunately it's almost impossible to find what you're looking for at builder ....

Oh, I got it. 16 by 16 icon called favicon.ico goes in your root directory. Here's an article - you can also associate an icon with a certain page.

Hi,

Wondering if any of you guys would know how Altavista and google.com manage to put small logo's in the favourites folder. When you go to Altavista in IE4+5 you see a little AV logo in the address bar. Can someone tell me how to do this?

Thanks

His latest tutorial is on how to make and associate the favicon.ico and there is a site devoted to it at www.favicon.com (go figure).
