Here is how I did it:</p> <p>1) Saved the favicon.ico file in my Pictures library.<br /> 2) Edited the Master page and add the following code, I have an absolute link for my icon.<br /> &lt;link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.bitsofsharepoint.com/Pirctures/favicon.ico"&gt;</p> <p>This worked great. Remember that you have to do this in every master page on your site if you want it to show up in the other sites.</p> <p>Also, I found that if I changed the favicon, I was trying different ones, that I would have to close all my browsers for it to refresh to the new favicon, it seems that the browser caches the favicon.</p> <p>Hope this helps. </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/adding-a-favicon-to-a-wss-30-site#post-4440 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 09:42:24 +0000 eric 4440@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>I've run into this when branding our own Sharepoint deployment. The favicons were always flaky in Sharepoint when viewing in IE7. Sometimes they showed up, sometimes not. I always had to check via Firefox to ensure it was there. </p> <p>As long as the icon is on the server,linked appropriately, and the master page being approved/published it will show up. Try looking in a different browser. </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/adding-a-favicon-to-a-wss-30-site#post-4433 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 20:45:19 +0000 EndUserSharePoint 4433@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>How long have you waited for it to appear? This may sound weird, but I've had it take as long as a couple days to propogate through the net and appear. -- Mark </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/adding-a-favicon-to-a-wss-30-site#post-4431 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 20:07:09 +0000 N_Williams 4431@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>Hi balcat,</p> <p>Yes I did this - but it's not working.</p> <p>Nicola </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/adding-a-favicon-to-a-wss-30-site#post-4430 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:38:58 +0000 baldcat 4430@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>Sorry but going back to basics :) did you check your master file back in afterwards ?? </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/adding-a-favicon-to-a-wss-30-site#post-4428 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:33:21 +0000 N_Williams 4428@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>Hi,<br /> I have generated a favicon.ico file and after reading various articles on the web tried the following two methods:</p> <p>1) placed the favicon.ico file in C:\inetpub\root directory of WSS site</p> <p>2) placed the favicon.ico file in the Images directory on my SharePoint server and placed this code in the head section of default.master using SPD:</p> <p>&lt;link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon.ico" /&gt;</p> <p>Neither method has worked!
