Didn't know if you got a good answer to your question.

Two ways:

1. The Old-Fashioned Way: put an icon file (.ico) in the root of your
web site directory and name it favicon.ico.

2. The New-Fashioned Way: reference an icon file (.ico) or PNG file
somewhere in your site hierarchy and put something like this in your
<head></head> section:

<link REL="shortcut icon" HREF="/images/icon.png" TYPE="image/x-png">

or something of the sort.
