Found this from a website:\n\n============================================================\nScript:     Adding An Icon With Your URL - Two Methods\n\nFunctions:  Whenever anyone bookmarks your site, an icon\n            will subsequently show up on their Favorites\n            list.  When your site is visited, the icon\n            will also show in the URL box of the browser.\n            \nBrowsers:   IE5+, NS6+, later FireFox, Opera versions, etc.\n\nAuthor:     etLux - after Microsoft\n============================================================\n\n===========\nMethod One\n===========\n\nSelect any standard Windows icon file. The .ico file *must*\nbe in standard Windows icon file format, or it will be\nignored.\n\nRename the icon file *exactly* to: favicon.ico -- all\nlowercase.  No deviation from this is allowed.\n\nPlace the favicon.ico file in the 'root' directory on your\nweb server (where your main index page is). \n\nWhenever your site is bookmarked, the icon will subsequently\nshow up on the visitor's Favorites list.  When they visit\nyour site, the icon will also show in the URL window of the\nbrowser.\n\nThat's all there is to it -- it's automatically picked up by\nIE5 and later browsers. \n\n===========\nMethod Two\n===========\n\nInsert the following LINK tag in the <head>...</head> of\nyour pages.\n\n<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico">\n\nChange the path and icon filename to correspond to the\nlocation of the icon file on your site.  The icon graphic\nfilename should be lowercase, no more than eight characters,\nand the extension must be .ico.\n\nAs above, the file *must* be in standard Windows icon file\nformat or it will be ignored.\n\nWhen you use this method as opposed to Method One above, the\nLINK REL code should appear on any page that might be\nbookmarked.\n\nDon't forget to confirm that the icon file is actually where\nyou say it is in the LINK REL path!\n\n==================================\nMore Information - Creating Icons\n==================================\n\nThe following is an exact quote from Microsoft®:\n\n"For Internet Explorer 5, the required size of a shortcut\nicon is 16x16 pixels. To create the icon, use an icon\neditor, such as the one included in Microsoft® Visual\nStudio® or one of the many other icon editors available.\nRegardless of the program you use, make sure you set the\neditor to create an icon that is 16x16 pixels. Otherwise,\nthe icon will be ignored by Internet Explorer."\n\n================\nTroubleshooting\n================\n\nWe've noticed occasionally quirky behavior with this IE5\nfeature on several systems.\n\nIn many cases the icon will not appear on your machine until\n*after* you perform the following steps:\n\n   - close *all* programs but the browser\n   - navigate to a neutral site, off your own url\n   - remove any and all bookmarks (favorites) to your\n       site that you may currently have\n   - clear the History and the Cache of the browser\n   - reboot, clear the Recycle Bin\n   - reboot again, bookmark your site\n   - reboot [sigh] again...\n\n============================================================

I remember an application called microangelo that allowed you to create icons for desktop folders.  You could do the same with MS paint at maximum zoom but MicroAngelo has more features such as animation.\nThen you can set the icon in the shortcut properties.\n\nIf you want an easier way, just install a theme.
