The common term for what your refering to is favicon although browsers like it to be called shortcut icon.

Open up your favorite image editor and make an icon, that is 16 pixels high and 16 pixels across, no more: no less.
If you can, save it as an icon file (with the .ico extension), if not then GIF will do (.gif extension).
Insert the following into the head of your document
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="/favicon.ico" >
If you are using a .gif then change the type to: "image/gif"

you can also visit http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/ where they have an online favicon maker, which will take your image and transform it into a .ico image.

You might want to note that Internet Explorer is a bit buggy with this. They disabled it or something in a security "fix". I think only bookmarked websites will have their favicon displayed.

Security fix. If that's what they consider a security problem they've got a lot of work to do. I respect the corporation from how it has grown, but is that the only hole they could find? I found more in just a few minutes.
