Browser Logo

What is the little logo to the left of the URL?
How do different websites put their own logo there?

It's from your bookmarks. When you create a bookmark (ie. favorite), IE goes to the server of the site and retrieves an icon file. If none exists it uses the default IE icon.

A website simply adds the icon to the server with a special filename.

Oddly enough you have reminded me to change it to match the icon for the main url. Which means it should look like this:

[attachment]

Not pretty... but gets the job done.
Enjoy,

My Explorer Tool Bar

I drag the icon in the address url area over to the links area. I usually edit the links as Phils would take up too much space.

I find that sometimes the ICON gets lost and I must drag repeat the procedure. I still haven't figured out where these icons are kept.

That's what I was wondering.
What is the special name of the Icon that it looks for?

IE looks to the webserver for a file named favicon.ico.

Thanks.
I see.
