OK, for the longest time I have wanted to see how this is done but never had the time to look into it. Today I found some answers for my self and hopefully others.
If you want to display an Icon next to your URL when the site shows up in the browser (it also shows up if its stored in the favorites) then here is what you need to know:
1. Create an icon 16 x 16 pixels or 32 x 32.
2. Name the file favicon.ico and put it in the root directory. (Internet Explorer automatically searches for this file and places the icon in the address bar, next to all favorites linking to your site, and on page tabs. In Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Explorer 6, the icon will appears only after a user adds the site to the Favorites menu).
OR
<head>
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico"/>
<title>My Title</title>
</head>
if you need more info you can visit MSDN using this LINK
Another neat resource is a website which will create the FavIcon for you, you can find it HERE
Hope this was useful.

MyGeneration - dOOdads
First of all let me start by saying that initially I didnt link dOOdads. There is definetly a learning curve, especially if you need business logic.
Once I got used to it, it was seemless. Now I use it on a day to day basis and there is nothing like it.
The credit for discovering and using dOOdads goes to one Mr. Rob Koch, who I have been working with for the past year or so. You can find more info about what he does at seerobcode.com
MyGeneration dOOdads and other useful info can be found at mygenerationsoftware.com
I have always tried to keep tabs on interesting articles which helped me out but never was able to do it. Now I plan to post links/content to the articles I find useful and interesting.
