Using HTML how do you change the small icon for a website?

[Nik]

get the image you wish for your website then go online and look for favicon generators that's its real name if you have ever linked to an external CSS file well favicons use the same type of link code slightly different though

When editing the HTML of a website how do you change the small icon which shows up in the top of tabs in most web browsers next to the title of the website? For example Facebook has the 'F' logo, and Yahoo Answers has the little star in a green speech bubble...

Can anyone help me, please?
