How can you force a particular icon to be the shortcut of your website. I
would like to create my own icon then apply it to my website. If you were
to create a shortcut on your desktop, of my website, it would display my
customized icon.

Thanks

Hello JCO,

As I know, a favicon is a 16 by 16 pixel graphic that most modern browsers
will show as the icon for your site. This icon appears in the address
field, bookmark list and links bar of most browsers.

Each Microsoft Visual Web Developer Design Template comes with a file
called favicon.ico that can be found in the themes folder for each
template. These icons match the default look of the template. In order to
display this icon in the browser you link to it in the HEAD of your XHTML
file.

To display the favorite icon link it in the HEAD of your XHTML.

<head>
<title>div - rounded</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="themes/default/favicon.ico" />
</head>

There are several resources on the Web that can help you make your own
favicon.ico files.

Hope this helps.

16 x 16 version for the little thing near the address line.

You can also make a 32 x 32 version for better quality (which would be used
by the browser to make an Icon for the desktop if the user makes one).
