In the <head> section of your document, you should have a line like this: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" /> IE, Mozilla, and other browsers will pick up your fav icon. You can see my personal homepage at <http://www.blackrobes.net/> for an example. Also note that the .ico is /not/ a picture or bitmap file, but is a specially formatted icon file. Does your icon editor support favicon.ico formats? I made my icon a long time ago, so I forget the specifics.

I'm got an favicon.ico that I created in an icon editor, saved it at 16x16x256 yet if I point to it, my browser wants to open or save it. If i choose open, the icon opens up in my icon viewer. Pointing to Yahoo or MSNBC for example (www.yahoo.com/favicon.ico or www.msnbc.com/favicon.ico) simply displays the icon right in IE. My icon is no different than their in dimensions and color depth so I think it's the HTTP server balling it up. --
