    It's called a favicon. Instructions and guides to make one (including an automatic version) are right here on DD. Look to the right from the main forum index and you will see the favicon generator link

    Put a favicon.ico in /public_html/. That will be it.

    Also, it doesn't work in Internet Explorer no matter how hard you try.

    IE will work, however, for some reason it usually takes up to 72 hours for IE to start showing the favicon.

    Why is it that it takes so long before it works? If I make other changes in HTML or CSS it is almost instantly changed.

    Because in IE, it will cache the favicon i believe. And will not actually take the time to reload until a "routine" "re-load".... But I am not too sure of the actual reason. That is just what I suspect!

    Obviously doesn't in version 7! (I use Windows Vista--maybe that's the difference!
