How can I associate an icon with my website using FrontPage?

I've noticed that some websites have their own icon associated with them, so
that in Internet Explorer, their icon displays rather than the default IE
one. (an example of this is www.foxnews.com)

How can I do this? Does FrontPage offer a method? If so, I can't find it.

Thanks...

That only looks like a facility to build an icon. I already have the icon;
I'm trying to understand how to make it show up on the computer of a visitor
to my website.

The site also tells you how to implement one.

The favicon.ico goes in the root of your web.

The information is on the web site. Go back to www.favicon.com and click on
the navigation links on the left for each browser as to how the user will
have to set up their browser.

Mozilla and Netscape do it automatically. IE is a booger bear.

1. It must be a genuine .ico file
2. Make sure the file is named: favicon.ico
3. Place it into the root folder of your web ( where index.html lives )
4. Publish it to the server.

With internet Explorer, if you have already created a link to your web site in Favorites
or on the desktop, the favicon "Will Not" show in the address bar until you delete the links
and create new ones.

Switch to Code View and after the <HEAD> tag add this:

<link rel="icon" href="/images/icon.ico" />

Change the path and name to the location of your icon file.

You see it after you add the site to Favorites
