Create a square graphic w/ whatever you want, logo, etc, and name it to favicon.ico and place it in the directory you want it to show up on.

seems like the questions been answered already, if i'm correct, the favicon is 16x16 pixels right?

Or\and include such code inside <head> :

< link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" >

Properly made favicon should contain also 32x32 image for desktop shortcuts. Otherwise the 16x16 image is scaled up and looks blurred.

as Ixvar stated;


<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">


in the HEAD section of your html page will make the favicon available to IE.

It's an IE bug. There's nothing you can do about it.

I find with IE you sometimes have to left-click on the incorrect favicon and drag it into the main window to reload the page several times, then IE finally "sees" the new one.
