little logo on the left of url in url bar

[mrcmobile:.]

Hi All,
could you explain to me, how to show the little logo on the left of url, in
the url bar of internet explorer?
I see that many web sites own it. Is it a .gif to put on the root of the web
site? Does it have a particular file name?
Thank you

That thingy is called a 'favicon'. Google for information:

Google is your friend (if you knew what it was called <g> ).

Internut Exploder only supports it if you bookmark the site, and then
only on the dropdown list, and then only until you clear your cache.
Modern browsers will show it in the location bar.

It's called a "favicon" but I'm surprised you've seen any in IE at all.
They don't work too good in IE but do in other browsers.

Doesn't have to be a .gif; can be a .jpg, etc. The prudent size is 16 x
16 pixels. Since others have suggested that you Google for your gruel,
I'll take a powder at this point.

No, it needs to be an .ico file...

16x16 is correct. <g>
