In your HTML after the TITLE block:

<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

I thought you had Dreamweaver to create your webpages with - right? With DW you should be able to see the HTML code that makes up your webpage.

Also, to make what Bushman posted a little clearer, the code he posted goes in the head section of your HTML file, similar to below:

<head>
  <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
  <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
</head>

This section will be at the very top of your code and immediately after the <html> line.

Look at one of the earlier posts in this thread by Bushman that gives you a link to a regular ICO editor. I would suggest downloading and installing the "Greenfish Icon Editor Pro" which has the ability to create and edit ICO files. It can also convert existing image files to ICO format. Windows doesn't have any built-in programs that will natively open or edit ICO files directly. Thus, you will need to download and install something that has that capability.
