IE definately does it automatically, as my server logs show many, many, many failed requests for /favicon.ico even though I don't have any tags relating to favicons anywhere.

As previously mentioned, are you sure it's saved in the root directory as favicon.ico and that you're using IE? Also, is it an actual ico file or just a bmp renamed to an ico? Finally, you do probably need the <link rel=... tag as your root directory isn't the actual root directory (ie you are a subfolder of your school's site).
