hi,
If you're talking about custom icons for IE on WIN (as far as I know that's
the only time it works) all you need to do is be able to save a 16x16 pixel
bitmap file as an Icon file (ico.)
You can use the shareware program IrfranView if you don't have an app that
can save as .ico.
Then you need to save 2 files.
One with the name favicon.ico, and a copy with the name addressicon.ico
Place both of these in the root folder of your site.
Cheers,
Jerry
