in wikipedia,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
it says:
>>"Legacy
Microsoft Internet Explorer only truly supports icons that have legitimate Microsoft Icon Files. Many webmasters have changed their preferred image's file extension to .ico without converting them to Microsoft Icon Files. This creates a conflict that Microsoft Internet Explorer cannot resolve; such icon images will not be displayed."<<

so how do you convert an image file to a Microsoft Icon File?
