on many sites (like www.eons.com) when you press Ctrl D and put that page in your favorites, there appears a little icon next to the name (an icon specific to the site, not the internet explorer icon).
can anyone tell me how to do that??
thank you very very much!

You have to create an icon file called favicon.ico and place it in your root directory. That is as much as you have to do to make it work. I am not positive on the dimensions but I think it has to be 16x16.

The favicon.ico file is only accessible for bookmarks by IE5.
