When I access my Temporary Internet Files folder through IE6, there is a
file there called Favicon.ico which appears to be an icon file. However, no
matter what I do, I can't seem to delete it (either by using IE6 or by
deleting it manually through windows.

Any idea on what this file is about and why I can't get rid of it?

This file is used by some Sites to give you a personalize Icon in your
Favorites.
If you delete it you will lose all the favorite settings.
It's probably being used and you cannot delete it.
