IE (to try and be clever) looks for a file called favicon.ico in the same
directory as the page being browsed IF the user bookmarks that page. If
they don't it won't search for the file.
Just as an example in IE go to http://www.google.com and bookmark it. Then
refresh the page. This will then change the little icon in the address bar
(ie next to "http://") to the google icon. This is the favicon.ico file for
google.
It's not a problem. It's just Micros**t trying to make everybodies browsing
experience more complete (or some such other marketing speak).
