Home Page Icon

[Lars Brandt]

How do I include an icon for my homepage? That is, when the user saves the
web page into their favorites, the default explorer icon gets replaced by
the company icon (msnbc has a peacock icon when you put their page into your
favorites).

Appreciate any help,
Lars

Create an icon, name it favicon.ico, and put in in the root directory of
your Web site. It will them be available to MSIE 5.0. There are also ways to
override it page by page. This article has the details:
