Icon in web address

Hi all, How do you put an icon in the address bar? On this site it has TSF to the left of http:// I see that Google has a new icon.

Hey, it's called a favicon, to put it on your site you put a "favicon.ico" file(16*16/32*32px icon file) in the root folder of your site (same folder as your site)... i believe there are other ways(google favicon and you'll find them)...

Cheers,
Jamey
