I believe you're referring to the Favicon, which allows a website to specify a 16x16 (or larger) image which is displayed in the address bar next to the URL in most modern browsers.

<head>of the HTML using the following code,<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />This was originally the way it was done with IE, but that doesn't conform to standards (because of the space in the rel), so most browsers now let you do it as follows, where you can use any standard image format, not just .ico
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.png" type="image/png" />讨论(0) -
They're favicons. Browsers look at / on a server for favicon.ico

It was originally a windows icon format file, stored under the URL http://site/favicon.ico. Most sites still use favicon.ico, and many browsers still automatically look there, regardless of the meta tags.
