Have a look at stackoverflow.com/a/23553354/410937 which provides a comprehensive answer as well. I like placing the favicon in the root of the domain as to not have to add the link information.atconway– atconway2015-03-11 02:54:44 +00:00Commented Mar 11, 2015 at 2:54

You're talking about a favicon. Not all browsers recognize it, but most do. You can add a link tag inside the head section of your HTML page with a link to the icon file:
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://www.example.com/myicon.ico"/>

It's forking in FF but not in IE, please help me how to display it in IE. Thanks a ton for your response.

IE doesn't look for it as often as FF does. Add the link to your favorites (in newer versions of IE this checks for the icon), or try a hard-refresh (Ctrl-F5).

I tried it with IE 8, but all in vain ! :( I don't know why Microsoft is not looking for the enhancement of IE, it's not less with CS3. Anyways, Thanks a lot for your help.
You mean a favicon?
Create a 16x16 pixel image and use this tool to convert it to an .ico file: http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/
Then place this line in your <head> section:
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">

I do it like this in my asp.net page:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<%= ResolveUrl("~/Content/images/favicon.ico") %>"/>
Works in all major browsers including IE 7 and 8. Haven't tested 6. Note that this is just like Ken's answer but a not-fully-qualified path is generated. The browser sees this:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/Content/images/favicon.ico"/>
