This is a feature of IE 5. The line of HTML isn't necessary so long as the
image is named 'favicon.ico' and is saved in the website's root directory.
Of course that is a bit limiting, and one line of HTML won't hurt! There is
a site dedicated to this subject at www.favicon.com, complete with a Java
Applet which you can use to create your own image.

This is an IE only thing (not sure which version) and is achieved by putting
a line in the header as follows:
<link rel="shortcut icon" HREF="../images/tranmit.ico">
NB - This is only displayed to the user if they add the page to their
favorites!!
