Icons

How do you insert an icon/logo in the address bar or the taskbar in a browser window
for example the icon you see before the address in the address bar or on the page title?

You need to create and save an .ico file for your site. There are some quite specific guidelines for creating this file. Do a search for favicon, or favourites icon. You then create a link to it like:
Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

if you have Visual Studio, it come with built-in tool for creating bitmaps and icons... for example in Visual C++ 6.0 open/create a project, in the ResourceView tab right click Icon and choose "Insert Icon" - you can draw the new icon and save it as .ico file.
also, note that such icon in the address bar is not working anymore in Internet Explorer (they disabled it since version 5.5 if I'm not wrong) but it do work for other browsers.

Photoshop should allow you to save as an .ico file. At least Photoshop 7.

Mozilla (inc Firefox) both display "favicons" inside the address bar, so does Opera AFAIK

However, you don't have to use *.ico or "Icon" files, you can use any image, preferably 16x16 though, I find GIF works best (I'd prefer to use PNG though)
