If you use a bookmark from MSIE, then MSIE will show the icon in the address bar, but that's only when the site called from the bookmarks...
After that, MSIE reconizes the site and will show the icon from then on... (even if you delete the site from the bookmarks again! This is a bug in MSIE...)
Furthermore, MSIE doesn't always reconize the favicon, even if you add the site to the bookmarks first. This is due a bug that MSIE doesn't handle some multiple format icons and transparency in them very well...
There is also something about
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">: not all browser reconize this and will use this. Some browsers actually only look for the file "favicon.ico" in the root of the hompage, thus regardless of what you've defined inside your HTML. Thus to make sure your page is compatible with every browser (as far as reconizing favicon is concearned), save your icon as "favicon.ico" into the root of the homepage
and use
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"> between the head-tags in your homepage...
