IE seems to have a bug with this. It worked fine in Mozilla 1.4, NN7, and Opera 7. I've noticed this with my own IE browser...

Theoretically if you place a file expressively called: "favicon.ico" of the type "image/x-icon" within your root directory of your site Micro$oft IE 6.0 will use that if you don't use the (X)HTML link method. It's just one of the many design faults of Micro$oft IE.

Have a look at the webmonkey site at http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/01/18/index1a.html?tw=eg20010503 this is where I learned to do it.
