How can I change the IE logo to my company logo in the address bar?

Hi Edward - it's called a favicon and you can learn all about it at http://www.favicon.com/

Click the "site search" link at the top of this page, and look for "favicon" for all the information you could hope to need. :)

It's short for "Favorites Icon," and if you create a proper .ico format image, and upload it to the root directory of your website, it will show up automatically.

Is it not true that the user would have to ad the page to his or her favorites for the icon to show up?

Yes. IE requests the favicon file when the user bookmarks the site. Sorry, I guess I didn't specify that in my last post.

What I meant to say is that all you need to do is put the proper ico file in your site's root directory, and IE will request it automatically... when someone adds the site to their favorites list.

You can also put this tag in the <HEAD> section of your page:
