You could Google for the answer, but in short:
If you put a favicon in the root it will be used throughout your site. If
you for whatever reason can't put a favicon in the root (because it is not
yours for example; with free 'hosts' or the space you get with your ISP
that is often the case) you can still use it by linking to it the way
Beauregard explained.
