Hello Gaetano,

Actually, it's nothing more than a bit of HTML.  Here's how you get the
Favorites icon to appear when your site is bookmarked.

1:  Make an icon that is 16 pixels by 16 pixels.  It MUST be that size or it
will be ignored by Internet Explorer.
2:  Use an icon editor to convert the file to the correct icon format.  (For
example, you could use the one that comes with Microsoft Visual Studio or
others.  A list can be found at the following location:
    http://graphicssoft.about.com/compute/graphicssoft/msubiconedit.htm
3:  Save the file as favicon.ico.  It MUST have that exact name.
4:  Upload the file to the root directory of the page(s) you want it
associated with.
5:  (Optional) Link the file to your HTML page(s) that you want it
associated with using the following code in the HEAD section of the HTML
document.
    <.link rel="shortcut icon" href="path to icon/favicon.ico">

That does it.  Hope that helps.
