Answer

IE5.x+ for win32 supports "favicon" although you can call the .ico file whatever you want. It will only appear when bookmarking the site and then I've found it's variable in success.

This is the code

<link REL="shortcut icon" HREF="http://www.webqs.com/ico/qs001.ico">

Mozilla has much better support for this (and ergo NS7). You don't have to make an icon file at all, a PNG file will do and it will appear as soon as you hit the site with Mozilla 1.x - no need for bookmarking.

<link REL="icon" HREF="http://www.webqs.com/ico/qs001.png" TYPE="image/png">
