The traditional mechanism for this is to create an icon file
named "favicon.ico" and place it in the root of the server's 
document tree.  This will affect all pages on the site.

The other way of doing this is to add a <link> tag to the output:

    <link rel='SHORTCUT ICON' href='...url...' />

This can be done in PmWiki by modifying the skin, or by adding the
following line to local/config.php:

    $HTMLHeaderFmt['shortcut'] = 
      "<link rel='SHORTCUT ICON' href='...url...' />";

Replace "...url..." with the url to the icon you want to use for
the shortcut.  

For more details, try searching the web for "favicon".
