Associate icon with web

D

Is there a way with FP2002 to associate an icon with the website. If someone
saves your site as a favorite I would like my custom icon to appear with the
link.
I realize that this icon is lost if the user deletes history or cache but I
would like to do this if possible.
Thanks...

Thanks Tom. The favicon thing works great. The site you mentioned has a link
to a MS site that explains how to do this for do it yourselfers.

Tom, thanks for the link. I was able to get the favicon to work like
promised on my top domain simply by copying a 16x16 icon into the root
directory and naming it favicon.ico. Other instructions told how to have an
icon for individual web pages or sub webs. I carefully copied the code into
some other pages and removed the favicon from my root web. I could not get
the icons to work for individual web pages or sub webs. Oh well. I went back
to the top domain method and that works fine but I'm stuck with the same
icon for all subwebs.
