Title: Special Icon In Favourites?
Post by: loopers on 9 December 2002, 20:40: When we add a particular webpage to favourites, how can we made a special icon appear in the favourites too, instead of just the normal display of html icon?

Post by: KernelPanic on 9 December 2002, 20:51: I guess it just uses the cached favicon.ico but I reckon www.windowsbbs.com (http://www.windowsbbs.com) might hole the answer...

Notice the title of this page is : Microsoft Eradication Society Forums.

Theirs is: Windows BBS - The Place for Microsoft Windows Support!

1. Use a favicon editor - I use Iconshop. It's free and from users.pandora.be/liontech/ (http://users.pandora.be/liontech/)

2. Add code to <head> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">

Name the file favicon and it gets picked up by some browsers.
