I have always wanted to know how to do this since I saw it done for the
first time.
Only now that you mention it, I figured out a way to find out how it's done:
I have at my disposal a proxy that I can watch to see what web requests are
made when pulling up a web site...
When I created the URL shortcut for a few sites that I know that have custom
icons, I noticed the file 'favicon.ico' being pulled. :)
I tried it on my own site and it works. I put a custom icon in the web root
by the name of 'favicon.ico'. Any web page that I pull up in the root or
any subdirectories gets this icon.
Enjoy!

Subject: OT: IE and bookmark icons?
Some sites, like www.google.com, when you add them to your favorites,
the icon for the bookmark file is a custom icon. I have looked at the
HTML source and found nothing out of the ordinary.. I'm guessing there
is a .gif or .ico file at the host site that IE looks for? Anybody know
the particulars?
TIA,
