Logo in address bar???

Hey I am not quite sure where to put this post but I noticed that some of the x-cart shops have logos in the address bar. I was wondering how you do this... and if its really beneficial. To me it seems to inspire confidence in a website to have a logo in the address bar rather than a blank piece of paper. Any imput would be appreciated.

Thanks

Which template would you put <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" > in?

or where would you put that script if you don't put it in a template?

By the way thanks for the great website tip. Worked great so far.

Actually, skin1/customer/home.tpl, in the <head> tag.

Just thought I would add that the icon creation site is brilliant. Thanks for the URL.
