How do I add an image to my site that will show up in an address bar, and/or a desktop icon?

This article on how to add a favicon (http://www.ecommercepartners.net/articles/favicons.shtml) is pretty good

I did what it said, and I made a favicon and uploaded it to my site via frontpage...It doesn't seem to work!

Just use this tool:

http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/

BTW, remember to put the favicon.ico in your root directory and add this tag:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" >

between your <head> .... </head> tag.

IE is a bit stupid when it comes to favicon. Try bookmarking your site and see if the favicon shows up. It may show up at bookmark but not at address bar.

I don't know how to properly do it but I just delete the old site's bookmark and bookmark it again. It will then show the new favicon.

I think when one change the favicon, it takes time to take effect.. ( I am not sure of this)

OK, I got it figured out now. It wasnt really clear, but the file name has to be called favicon.ico
