How do you make your webpage so when someone bookmarks it, the icon (at least in IE) is a different picture, instead of the thing with the E and the peice pf paper or whatever it is on it?

For example, CNN is a white box with CNN in red letters in my Favorites section, how do they do that?

Create a file in the root directory of your site called favicon.ico, make it a 16x16 gif.

For instance, http://abecx.net/favicon.ico

As an FYI, the icons are a browser feature and not really compliant with any standards. While you're at it, make a blank file called robots.txt for search engines.

I dunno what I am doing wrong, but I can't get it to work!

I also added abecx.net to my Fav's and it is still the stupid IE default icon.

CNN and another forum I go to are different pictures???

Works fine for me, remove the bookmark and readd it perhaps.
