anybody knows how to put a shortcut item in the search window of you're browser? ( you know , a littel icon that appears next to the adres of you're website)

It's a favicon. Create the icon in 16x16px .ico format, upload it to the root of your server and for good measure put the following in the head of every page of the site:

Code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

the obvious thing to add in case you missed it is to make your favicon be called favicon.ico, or that header script is about about as useful as inflatable pin cushion.
