Simply place favicon.ico (16x16) in the root of your site. That is all.

In additon to the above, you'll also have to link to it in your XHTML with something like the below:

<LINK rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico"/>

The first approach for specifying a favicon is to use the rel attribute value "icon" and to define what the value means via a profile;
In this HTML 4.01 example, the favicon identified via the URI http://example.com/myicon.png as being a favicon:
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en-US">
<head profile="http://www.w3.org/2005/10/profile">
<link rel="icon"
type="image/png"
href="http://example.com/myicon.png">
[...]
</head>
[...]
</html>
