As I understand it, the favicon.ico for a given site is cached by the  
browser, so it can display it in the bookmarks list, for example,  
even when you're not online. I'm not sure where exactly it's cached,  
however. Clearing the browser's cache may clear bookmark icons and  
cause it to re-fetch the new one, if they're cached with the rest of  
the website information.

If you want to explicitly name the bookmark icon file, you can add  
the following to the page header of all your website's pages (note:  
not the header block, but in the HTML <HEAD> section)

<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="|imagedir|/youriconfile.ico">
