I use Microangelo (http://www.microangelo.us/) when I need to make cursor or icon files...

I like Icon Edit. Or you could try Icon Forge. You can download the former at

What I want to know is, despite saving my custom icon as instructed (favicon.ico), my stupid browser refuses to acknowledge my artistic wizardry... Any ideas?

Are you telling the page to use your icon?

<style type="text/css">
body {
cursor: url("cursor.cur");
}

Mine's a favorites icon, not cursor.... as far as I know, the browser automatically scans the root directory for favicon.ico...
Have I been misinformed?
And I don't use CSS... I know, I know, heinous crime....
I've only just abandoned Dreamweaver to get to grips with HTML, Javascript etc., so please explain as to a 7-month baby.
Or your parents :)

Yes, IE does spam the servers by requesting a favicon on every page it obtains. They (favicons) also do not work well in that browser. Other browsers, however wait to see this line of code (placed in the <head>):

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
